About Flat 2
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 2 is a mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 1AD). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (October 2021) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2018. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). At 86 m² this is the 8th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 23–121 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 10 units on file.
Today's modelled estimate of £396,000 is 74.9% below the 2022 sale of £1,577,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,704/sq ft) was about 452% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 86 m² the property is well over the postcode median (50 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Sold August 2022 for £1,577,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Flat 2 is modelled from its 86 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 1AD. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Flat 2. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Flat 2 was lodged in October 2021 at band D and is valid until October 2031. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Flat 2. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 1AD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
