Overview

About 5a

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

5a is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 5DH). 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 13th smallest of 51 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–195 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a C (score 74). The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £498,000 is 25.8% below the 2014 sale of £671,500, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,273/sq ft) was about 327.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 12 years ago, in December 2014. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
