Overview

About 12 Howard Terrace

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

12 Howard Terrace is an end-of-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 3TR). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 388 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 36 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (36–110 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from November 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 36 m² it sits well below the postcode median (96 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: change of use to residential approved in 2000. Past consents include change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

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 12 Howard Terrace is modelled from its 36 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 3TR. 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. No sale is recorded for 12 Howard Terrace, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 12 Howard Terrace was lodged in November 2012 at band E and expired in November 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 12 Howard Terrace. 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 3TR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
