Overview

About 10 Monterey Court

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

10 Monterey Court is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 6TE). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 823 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. Other recorded features include a balcony. At 76 m² this is the 6th smallest of 30 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 67–112 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (June 2010) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. The latest certificate is from June 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2004. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 90% of similar EPCs). Across 2003–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £332,000 is 44.3% above the 2011 sale price.

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 10 Monterey Court is modelled from its 76 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 6TE. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 10 Monterey Court. 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 10 Monterey Court was lodged in June 2010 at band B and expired in June 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 10 Monterey Court. 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 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 6TE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
10 Monterey Court is in council tax band C. 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.
