Overview

About 4 Queens Gardens

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

4 Queens Gardens is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 4AR). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 583 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (March 2011) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). The latest certificate is from March 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. At 54 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 36 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £480,000 is 45.5% above the 2011 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£566/sq ft) was about 74.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 4 Queens Gardens is modelled from its 54 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 4AR. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 4 Queens Gardens. 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 4 Queens Gardens was lodged in March 2011 at band E and expired in March 2021, 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. None is matched to 4 Queens Gardens. 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 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 4AR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Queens Gardens is in council tax band C. 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.
