5 Orchard Hill, Rudgwick, Horsham, RH12 3EQ

5 Orchard Hill is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Rudgwick, Horsham, Horsham (RH12 3EQ). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £477,000 sits 72.8% above the 2007 sale of £276,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£215/sq ft) was about 17.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: partial demolition refused in 2008.
