Overview

About 16b

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

16b is a mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 5AN). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 47 m² this is the 13th smallest of 65 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–197 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (May 2023) shows a C (score 72). The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor.

It hasn't traded since November 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area.
