Overview

About 24a

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

24a is an end-of-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 4QL). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 44 m² this is the 12th smallest of 52 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 27–210 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 44 m² it's 25.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (59 m² median across 51 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement.
