Overview

About 18 Newlands

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

18 Newlands is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Balcombe, Haywards Heath, Haywards Heath (RH17 6HX). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in September 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £418,000 is 40.5% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£249/sq ft) was about 28.8% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2004.
