Overview

About 6 Southdown Avenue

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

6 Southdown Avenue is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 6EG). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1088 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a C (score 72). The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. 6 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include tree works, an extension, solar panel installation and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 6 Southdown Avenue is modelled from its 101 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 6EG. 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 6 Southdown Avenue. 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 Southdown Avenue was lodged in June 2009 at band C and expired in June 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 6 applications are matched to 6 Southdown Avenue. 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 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 6EG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
6 Southdown Avenue is in council tax band E. 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.
