Overview

About 2 Pinewood

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

2 Pinewood is a two-bedroom detached house in Brighton (BN1 6UQ). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Poor.

Today's modelled estimate of £280,000 is 31.8% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£304/sq ft) was about 54.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2 Pinewood is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 6UQ. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 2 Pinewood. 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 2 Pinewood was lodged in April 2016 at band C and expired in April 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 2 Pinewood. 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 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 6UQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Pinewood is in council tax band B. 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.
