Overview

About 3 Forge Cottages

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

3 Forge Cottages is a mid-terrace house in Broadbridge Heath, Horsham, Horsham (RH12 3JA). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2011–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 26.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £396,000 is 32% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£382/sq ft) was about 39.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. At 73 m² it's 29.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (104 m² median across 7 EPCs).

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 Forge Cottages is modelled from its 73 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RH12 3JA. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 3 Forge Cottages. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 3 Forge Cottages was lodged in February 2014 at band D and expired in February 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 3 Forge Cottages. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 10 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RH12 3JA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Forge Cottages is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
