Overview

About 15 Compton Road

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

15 Compton Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 5AL). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 54 m² this is the 4th smallest of 55 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 49–153 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in December 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good.
