Overview

About Downsview

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

Downsview is a detached house in Brighton (BN1 5AN). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 628 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. At 58 m² this is the 4th smallest of 7 units on EPC record in Downsview, where floor areas span 42–66 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (72 versus a worst of 36). The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a C (score 72). The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £290,000 sits 78.5% above the 2009 sale of £162,500.
