Overview

About 18 Buckingham Close

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

18 Buckingham Close is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 3TW). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. At 61 m² this is the 14th 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 latest certificate (September 2024) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in February 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Very Good.

It hasn't traded since October 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £319,000 sits 105.8% above the 2008 sale of £155,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£236/sq ft) was about 18.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
