Overview

About 6 Orchard Close

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

6 Orchard Close is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Scaynes Hill, Haywards Heath, Haywards Heath (RH17 7PQ). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2024) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79).

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. Today's modelled estimate of £513,000 sits 123% above the 2009 sale of £230,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£198/sq ft) was about 22.1% below the postcode norm. At 108 m² it's 21.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (89 m² median across 26 EPCs).
