About 5 Bilbets
5 Bilbets is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Horsham (RH12 2LQ). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
