Overview

About 2a

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

2a is a five-bedroom detached house in Brighton (BN1 5JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 192 m² (around 2067 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2024) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since April 2014. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84).

It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £1,035,000 sits 66.9% above the 2007 sale of £620,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 192 m² it's 25.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (153 m² median across 13 EPCs).
