Overview

About 5 Sussex Road

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

5 Sussex Road is a detached house in West Wickham (BR4 0JX). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 935 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. At 87 m² this is the 7th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 63–87 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (42 versus a best of 68). The latest certificate (March 2010) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since September 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £474,000 sits 106.1% above the 2010 sale of £230,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£246/sq ft) was about 15.6% below the postcode norm. At 87 m² it's 24.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (70 m² median across 7 EPCs).
