Overview

About Alma Cottage

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

Alma Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Dial Post, Horsham, Horsham (RH13 8NH). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 67), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in August 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £765,000 sits 53% above the 2007 sale of £499,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£693/sq ft) was about 139.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 67 m² it sits well below the postcode median (134 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar 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 Alma Cottage is modelled from its 67 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RH13 8NH. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Alma Cottage. 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 Alma Cottage was lodged in November 2025 at band G and is valid until November 2035. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Alma Cottage. 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 1 school and 6 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RH13 8NH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Alma Cottage is in council tax band F. 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.
