Overview

About 73b

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

73b is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 6PF). It has a recorded floor area of 25 m² (around 269 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A.

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 73b is modelled from its 25 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 73b. 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 73b was lodged in September 2015 at band C and expired in September 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 73b. 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.
Council tax band
73b is in council tax band A. 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.
