Overview

About 43a

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

43a is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 4SB). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement.

2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £443,000 is 19.7% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£419/sq ft) was about 69% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

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 43a is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 4SB. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 43a. 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 43a was lodged in April 2013 at band E and expired in April 2023, 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. 2 applications are matched to 43a. 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 4SB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
43a 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.
