About 34a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
34a is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 4AT). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2019) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79).
It hasn't traded since February 2005, a hold of 22 years that's notably long for the area. At 111 m² the property is well over the postcode median (79 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–2005, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £575,000 sits 94.9% above the 2005 sale of £295,000.

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 34a is modelled from its 111 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 4AT. 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 34a. 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 34a was lodged in April 2019 at band D and is valid until April 2029. 2 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 34a. 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 4AT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 34a is in council tax band D. 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.
