Overview

About 36a

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

36a is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Preston, Brighton, Brighton (BN1 6SP). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 780 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

Held since April 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 26.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £491,000 sits 51.1% above the 2007 sale of £325,000. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
