About Chevin
Chevin is a detached house in Westmeston, Hassocks, Hassocks (BN6 8XG). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 1998, a hold of 28 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. Today's modelled estimate of £859,000 sits 275.1% above the 1998 sale of £229,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£152/sq ft) was about 58.4% below the postcode norm. At 140 m² it's 23.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (183 m² median across 8 EPCs).
