About 43 Orange Row
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
43 Orange Row is a mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 1UQ). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an F (score 21), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (December 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 46). Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 67 m² it's 24.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (54 m² median across 19 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2010–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.2% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£520/sq ft) was about 26.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 8 years since the last transfer (May 2018).

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 43 Orange Row is modelled from its 67 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 1UQ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 43 Orange Row. 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 43 Orange Row was lodged in August 2014 at band F and expired in August 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 43 Orange Row. 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 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 1UQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 43 Orange Row is in council tax band B. 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.
