Overview

About Star Cottage

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

Star Cottage is a detached house in Southwater, Horsham, Horsham (RH13 9HW). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1540 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 47). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 143 m² the property is well over the postcode median (95 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £662,000 sits 55.8% above the 2009 sale of £425,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 Star Cottage is modelled from its 143 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RH13 9HW. 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 Star 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 Star Cottage was lodged in May 2009 at band F and expired in May 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to Star 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 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RH13 9HW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Star 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.
