About 1 The Laines
1 The Laines is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Alfriston, Polegate, Polegate (BN26 5XS). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony. Period features are noted in the property record.
