Overview

About 26a

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

26a is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 6EE). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 58 m² this is the 34th smallest of 60 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 29–172 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 60 units on file. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (February 2017) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).

It hasn't traded since May 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. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £291,000 sits 66.3% above the 2007 sale of £175,000.

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 26a is modelled from its 58 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 26a. 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 26a was lodged in February 2017 at band D and is valid until February 2027. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 26a. 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
26a 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.
