About 1 The Laurels
1 The Laurels is a semi-detached house in Barns Green, Horsham, Horsham (RH13 0QQ). It has a recorded floor area of 154 m² (around 1658 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2021) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in December 2016 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while main heating dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg.
It hasn't traded since January 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. Today's modelled estimate of £626,000 sits 106.9% above the 2007 sale of £302,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£182/sq ft) was about 43.1% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused.
