About 3 Powis Villas
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Powis Villas is a five-bedroom detached house in Brighton (BN1 3HD). It has a recorded floor area of 219 m² (around 2357 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
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. At 219 m² the property is well over the postcode median (75 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 2008–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 25% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,370,000 sits 56.6% above the 2009 sale of £875,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 3 Powis Villas is modelled from its 219 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 3HD. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 3 Powis Villas. 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 3 Powis Villas was lodged in September 2012 at band E and expired in September 2022, 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. 2 applications are matched to 3 Powis Villas. 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.

- Council tax band
- 3 Powis Villas is in council tax band G. 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.
