The estimate for 1a is modelled from its 49 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 5AP. 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.

1a is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Brighton (BN1 5AP). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 49 m² this is the 28th smallest of 48 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–93 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 48 units on file. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since October 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1997–2001, sale prices on this property compounded at 21.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £242,000 sits 222.7% above the 2001 sale of £75,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£142/sq ft) was about 45% below the postcode norm.
