Overview

About Flat 2

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

Flat 2 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 3LT). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 46 m² this is the 9th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 36–83 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (March 2021) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good.

It hasn't traded since April 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £219,000 sits 476.3% above the 2000 sale of £38,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£77/sq ft) was about 74% below the postcode norm.
