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 125.4% 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.
