About 31 Withdean Court

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

31 Withdean Court is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Preston, Brighton, Brighton (BN1 6RN). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£153/sq ft) was about 33% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
