Overview

About 26a

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

26a is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 6PB). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2015) 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 May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 78 m² it's 24.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (63 m² median across 58 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £397,000 is 24.1% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£381/sq ft) was about 45.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in November 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
