Overview

About 10 Castle Street

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

10 Castle Street is a mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 2HD). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2022) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 91).

It hasn't traded since March 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 £363,000 sits 107.4% above the 2009 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£239/sq ft) was about 31% below the postcode norm. At 68 m² it's 19.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (57 m² median across 51 EPCs).
