Overview

About 30 Astra House

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

30 Astra House is an end-of-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 2HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. At 75 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (27–75 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (June 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 75 m² the property is well over the postcode median (32 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£508/sq ft) was about 88.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in June 2016.
