Overview

About 28b

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

28b is an end-of-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 3TL). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 58 m² this is the 47th smallest of 76 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 30–172 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in May 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £368,000 sits 209.2% above the 2003 sale of £119,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£191/sq ft) was about 45.7% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused.

How to read this page

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 28b is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 3TL. 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 28b. 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 28b was lodged in July 2015 at band C and expired in July 2025, 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 28b. 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 3TL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
