Overview

About 6 Herbert Road

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

6 Herbert Road is a five-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 6PB). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 131 m² the property is well over the postcode median (63 m² across 58 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2010–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.7% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£596/sq ft) was about 123.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: October 2022 at £840,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 6 Herbert Road is modelled from its 131 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 6PB. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 6 Herbert Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 6 Herbert Road was lodged in July 2013 at band C and expired in July 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 6 Herbert Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 35 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 6PB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
6 Herbert Road is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
