About 31 Grand Avenue
31 Grand Avenue is a five-bedroom detached house in Hassocks (BN6 8DE). It has a recorded floor area of 204 m² (around 2196 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2021) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Good. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
It hasn't traded since October 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.
