About 4 Frederick Gardens
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Frederick Gardens is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 4TB). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (May 2024) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in June 2011 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 93), a 2-band jump.
On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Last sold in August 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include new windows and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2001–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £418,000 is 19.4% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£739/sq ft) was about 82.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

- 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 4 Frederick Gardens. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
