About Fairlight

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

Fairlight is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Chelwood Gate, Haywards Heath, Haywards Heath (RH17 7LF). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Sold February 2021 for £500,000. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1998–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £569,000 is 13.8% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£378/sq ft) was about 51.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
