About 8 Cherrywood
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Cherrywood is a two-bedroom detached house in Brighton (BN1 6UR). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (March 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 66 m² this is the 5th smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 61–66 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 12 units on file.
Across 2013–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.8% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£387/sq ft) was about 37.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold May 2022 for £275,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 8 Cherrywood is modelled from its 66 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 6UR. 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 8 Cherrywood. 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 8 Cherrywood was lodged in September 2013 at band D and expired in September 2023, 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. None is matched to 8 Cherrywood. 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 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 6UR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Cherrywood 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.
