Overview

About 23a

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

23a is a semi-detached house in Brighton (BN1 6GL). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 649 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 60 m² this is the 30th smallest of 72 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–172 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 72 units on file.

Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 60 m² it's 28.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (84 m² median across 71 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £281,000 is 43.4% above the 2007 sale price.

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 23a is modelled from its 60 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 6GL. 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 23a. 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 23a was lodged in October 2008 at band E and expired in October 2018, 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. None is matched to 23a. 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 6GL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
23a 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.
