Overview

About 24 Chestnuts Close

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

24 Chestnuts Close is a two-bedroom detached house in Lindfield, Haywards Heath, Haywards Heath (RH16 2AU). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 939 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in January 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2007–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £527,000 sits 62.2% above the 2009 sale of £325,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2022.
