About 16a
16a is a four-bedroom detached house in Hassocks (BN6 8BN). It has a recorded floor area of 147 m² (around 1582 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2026) returns a high B (score 87), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in June 2012 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since December 1998, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.
