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.

One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2014. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2013–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £342,000 is 35.7% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£418/sq ft) was about 111.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in March 2016.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Buckingham Close is modelled from its 56 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 3TW. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1 Buckingham Close. 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 1 Buckingham Close was lodged in October 2015 at band C and expired in October 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Buckingham Close. 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 3TW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Buckingham Close is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
