Overview

About 2 Preston Grange

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

2 Preston Grange is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Brighton (BN1 6BH). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. At 113 m² this is the 32nd smallest of 33 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–121 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 33 units on file. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 113 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2002. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in September 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. Across 1995–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £424,000 is 32.5% above the 2013 sale price.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2 Preston Grange is modelled from its 113 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 6BH. 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.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 2 Preston Grange. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 2 Preston Grange was lodged in June 2013 at band D and expired in June 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 2 Preston Grange. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 6BH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Preston Grange is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
