Overview

About 29 Balfour Road

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

29 Balfour Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Brighton (BN1 6NA). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. At 70 m² this is the 25th smallest of 52 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 23–213 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 52 units on file. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£392/sq ft) was about 44% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold June 2022 for £295,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
