Overview

About 1 Grantham Road

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

1 Grantham Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Brighton (BN1 6EE). It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1733 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2017) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since May 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include outbuildings and a basement. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 161 m² the property is well over the postcode median (51 m² across 59 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2013–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £885,000 is 22.9% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£415/sq ft) was about 43.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.

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 1 Grantham Road is modelled from its 161 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 6EE. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1 Grantham 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 1 Grantham Road was lodged in September 2017 at band E and is valid until September 2027. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Grantham 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 6EE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Grantham Road is in council tax band D. 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.
