About 28a
28a is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 6PB). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 426 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. At 40 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 59 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 30–172 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (65 m² across 58 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2006–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £257,000 is 49.4% above the 2011 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£404/sq ft) was about 56.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in October 2011 and unlisted since — roughly 15 years.
