Overview

About 8 Ship Street Gardens

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

8 Ship Street Gardens is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 1AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 954 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

It hasn't traded since October 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. Today's modelled estimate of £599,000 sits 101.3% above the 2009 sale of £297,500. 4 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include solar panel installation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Ship Street Gardens is modelled from its 89 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 1AJ. 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 8 Ship Street Gardens. 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 8 Ship Street Gardens was lodged in August 2009 at band E and expired in August 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 8 Ship Street Gardens. 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 1AJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Ship Street Gardens is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
