About 15 Kew Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Kew Street is a mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 3LG). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in January 2011 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2012–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £607,000 is 18% below the 2022 sale of £740,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£588/sq ft) was about 73.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 117 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2012. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Most recent transfer: October 2022 at £740,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 15 Kew Street is modelled from its 117 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 3LG. 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 15 Kew Street. 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 15 Kew Street was lodged in July 2014 at band C and expired in July 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 15 Kew Street. 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 29 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 3LG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 15 Kew Street is in council tax band D. 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.
