Overview

About 27 North Road

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

27 North Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Preston, Brighton, Brighton (BN1 6SP). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (September 2024) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (June 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump.

A recent sale: £494,500 in March 2025. Across the public record there are 7 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). Across 2003–2025, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.1% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£707/sq ft) was about 81.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
