Overview

About 6 Rugby Road

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

6 Rugby Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 6EB). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. At 58 m² this is the 10th smallest of 43 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 23–229 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (73 versus a worst of 22). Other recorded features include a conservatory. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in July 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 58 m² it sits well below the postcode median (124 m² across 42 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £302,000 is 16.2% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£416/sq ft) was about 23.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £260,000 in February 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 6 Rugby Road is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 6EB. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 6 Rugby Road. 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 6 Rugby Road was lodged in October 2014 at band C and expired in October 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 6 Rugby Road. 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 38 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 6EB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
6 Rugby Road 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.
