Overview

About 1 The Birches

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

1 The Birches is a five-bedroom detached house in Mannings Heath, Horsham, Horsham (RH13 6JT). It has a recorded floor area of 151 m² (around 1625 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in October 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 90). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £826,000 sits 86.9% above the 2012 sale of £442,000. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs). Last sold in January 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
