How the estimate is made

The estimate for 12a is modelled from its 20 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 4GU. 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.

Overview

About 12a

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

12a is a detached house in Brighton (BN1 4GU). It has a recorded floor area of 20 m² (around 215 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2007 onwards. At 20 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across 12a (20–57 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (76 versus a worst of 63). The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in August 2011 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

How to read this page

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 12a is modelled from its 20 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 4GU. 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. No sale is recorded for 12a, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 12a was lodged in April 2016 at band C and expired in April 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 12a. 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 29 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 4GU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
