About 86 Grand Avenue
86 Grand Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hassocks (BN6 8DD). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2019) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79).
It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2006–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £497,000 sits 77.5% above the 2009 sale of £280,000. At 98 m² it's 19% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (121 m² median across 13 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2010.
