28 North Road, Preston, Brighton, BN1 6SP

28 North Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Preston, Brighton, Brighton (BN1 6SP). It has a recorded floor area of 164 m² (around 1771 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2010) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). The latest certificate is from May 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 1997 — that's 29 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. At 164 m² the property is well over the postcode median (65 m² across 31 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £783,000 sits 312.1% above the 1997 sale of £190,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£107/sq ft) was about 73.6% below the postcode norm. 13 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 8 refused. Past consents include an extension and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
