Overview

About 4 Cooks Mead

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

4 Cooks Mead is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Rusper, Horsham, Horsham (RH12 4PU). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in November 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility.

At 109 m² the property is well over the postcode median (54 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion, an extension and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2012–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £484,000 is 30.8% above the 2015 sale price.
