Overview

About 16 Greenacres

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

16 Greenacres is a semi-detached house in Brighton (BN1 6HR). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

20 planning records sit against the property, 16 approved, 2 refused, 2 pending. Past consents include tree works, new windows, an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. An active application for tree works is awaiting a decision. Today's modelled estimate of £374,000 is 15.1% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£332/sq ft) was about 30.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in December 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 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 16 Greenacres is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 6HR. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 16 Greenacres. 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 16 Greenacres was lodged in August 2016 at band D and expired in August 2026, 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. 20 applications are matched to 16 Greenacres. 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 37 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 6HR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
16 Greenacres 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.
