About 39 Ashford Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
39 Ashford Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 6LL). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2019) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (January 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in July 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £552,000 sits 84% above the 2009 sale of £300,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs).

- 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 39 Ashford Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
