Overview

About 17 Lucerne Road

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

17 Lucerne Road is a one-bedroom detached house in Brighton (BN1 6GH). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe and a loft.

At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (99 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1995–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £464,000 is 42.8% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£503/sq ft) was about 35.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in November 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 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 17 Lucerne Road is modelled from its 60 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 6GH. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 17 Lucerne 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 17 Lucerne Road was lodged in November 2015 at band D and expired in November 2025, 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 17 Lucerne 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 6GH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
17 Lucerne Road is in council tax band A. 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.
