Flat 2, 3 Florence Road, Brighton, BN1 6DL

Flat 2 is an end-of-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 6DL). It has a recorded floor area of 27 m² (around 291 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 27 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–215 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to D across 16 units on file.

It hasn't traded since September 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £147,000 sits 320% above the 1999 sale of £35,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£120/sq ft) was about 62.6% below the postcode norm. At 27 m² it sits well below the postcode median (72 m² across 58 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2021. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
