Overview

About 8 Oxford Street

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

8 Oxford Street is a mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 4LA). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2026) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in June 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. At 52 m² this is the 10th smallest of 25 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–75 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B, with this unit at the top.

Across 2020–2025, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £240,000 is 22.6% below the 2025 sale of £310,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused, 1 pending. Past consents include change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. An active application for change of use to residential is awaiting a decision. Most recent transfer was December 2025 at £310,000 — fresh data. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.

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 8 Oxford Street is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 4LA. 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 8 Oxford Street. 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 8 Oxford Street was lodged in July 2026 at band B and is valid until July 2036. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 8 Oxford Street. 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 4LA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Oxford Street 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.
