About 20a

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

20a is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Withdean, Brighton, Brighton (BN1 5JD). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft). The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86).
