Overview

About 9 Ship Street Gardens

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

9 Ship Street Gardens is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 1AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 774 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 48). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record.

Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 72 m² it's 18.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (88 m² median across 14 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £511,000 sits 70.4% above the 2009 sale of £299,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£387/sq ft) was about 24.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 9 Ship Street Gardens is modelled from its 72 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales 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. 4 sales are recorded for 9 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 9 Ship Street Gardens was lodged in April 2009 at band F and expired in April 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. None is matched to 9 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
9 Ship Street Gardens is in council tax band C. 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.
