Overview

About 1 Buckingham Close

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

1 Buckingham Close is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 3TW). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 56 m² this is the 7th smallest of 27 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 34–66 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a C (score 71). The rating has held steady at C across 4 certificates since July 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
