Overview

About 5 Friar Road

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

5 Friar Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Brighton (BN1 6NG). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

Held since December 2010 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £749,000 sits 52.9% above the 2010 sale of £490,000. At 116 m² it sits well below the postcode median (169 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2011. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
