Overview

About 7 Wellcroft Cottages

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

7 Wellcroft Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Albourne, Hassocks, Hassocks (BN6 9BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2011 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Today's modelled estimate of £565,000 is 28.4% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£538/sq ft) was about 39.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in February 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. At 76 m² it's 25.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (102 m² median across 5 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2018.
