Overview

About 18 Crown Street

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

18 Crown Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 3EH). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2025) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in December 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Other recorded features include a loft. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since December 2008, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1996–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £498,000 is 46.5% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£439/sq ft) was about 46.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
