About The Laurels
The Laurels is a semi-detached house in Cuckfield, Haywards Heath, Haywards Heath (RH17 5DL). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1223 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 52). The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £535,000 sits 78.3% above the 2009 sale of £300,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£245/sq ft) was about 25.2% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused.
