Overview

About Cornerways

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Cornerways is a four-bedroom detached house in Alfriston, Polegate, Polegate (BN26 5UG). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 148 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Last changed hands 14 years ago, in September 2012. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1995–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £667,000 is 34.7% above the 2012 sale price.
