Overview

About 5a

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

5a is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 3HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1976-1982. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since October 2023. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Other recorded features include a basement. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 79 m² the property is well over the postcode median (43 m² across 79 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £631,000 is 26.2% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£588/sq ft) was about 105.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5a is modelled from its 79 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 3HJ. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 5a. 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 5a was lodged in March 2026 at band C and is valid until March 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5a. 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. The 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 3HJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
