5 Clifton Place is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 3FN). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1059 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Average.

Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.
