Overview

About 45a

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

45a is a one-bedroom property in Brighton (BN1 6PF). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 41 m² this is the 13th smallest of 51 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–143 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a C (score 73). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since August 2011. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since July 2011, a hold of 15 years that's notably long for the area. Across 2004–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £254,000 sits 56.8% above the 2011 sale of £162,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£367/sq ft) was about 32.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (85 m² across 50 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2005. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 45a is modelled from its 41 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 6PF. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 45a. 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 45a was lodged in February 2026 at band C and is valid until February 2036. 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 45a. 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 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 6PF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
