Overview

About 4 The Birches

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

4 The Birches is a two-bedroom detached house in Mannings Heath, Horsham, Horsham (RH13 6JT). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a G (score 2), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it F (September 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

At 107 m² it's 29.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (152 m² median across 10 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £624,000 sits 56% above the 2014 sale of £399,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£347/sq ft) was about 44.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. 12 years since the last transfer (May 2014).

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 4 The Birches is modelled from its 107 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RH13 6JT. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 4 The Birches. 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 4 The Birches was lodged in December 2014 at band G and expired in December 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. 2 applications are matched to 4 The Birches. 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 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RH13 6JT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 The Birches is in council tax band E. 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.
