About 21 Compton Avenue

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

21 Compton Avenue is a mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 3PP). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2018) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2017 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor.

Today's modelled estimate of £373,000 is 60.7% below the 2024 sale of £950,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition.
