About 2a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2a is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 6EE). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 68 m² this is the 40th 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 (December 2023) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72).
It hasn't traded since August 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 68 m² the property is well over the postcode median (51 m² across 59 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £337,000 sits 51.8% above the 2008 sale of £222,000.

Start your researchHow 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 2a is modelled from its 68 m² EPC floor area, its 4 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. 4 sales are recorded for 2a. 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 2a was lodged in December 2023 at band D and is valid until December 2033. 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 2a. 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
- 2a is in council tax band C. 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.
