Overview

About Sussex House

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

The latest certificate (August 2025) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2015. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on electricity. At 66 m² this is the 18th smallest of 26 units on EPC record in Sussex House, where floor areas span 43–109 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 26 units on file.

Today's modelled estimate of £302,000 is 17.8% below the 2015 sale of £367,500, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Sussex House is modelled from its 66 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG1 3EJ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Sussex House. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Planning records

Area figures

The 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG1 3EJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
