Overview

About Flat 4

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

Flat 4 is a semi-detached house in Brighton (BN1 6RB). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 39 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (39–186 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (November 2021) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since June 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £216,000 sits 380% above the 1999 sale of £45,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£107/sq ft) was about 57.8% below the postcode norm. At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (65 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2004. 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 Flat 4 is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 6RB. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Flat 4. 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 Flat 4 was lodged in November 2021 at band E and is valid until November 2031. 3 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 Flat 4. 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 6RB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Flat 4 is in council tax band B. 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.
