Overview

About 59 Withdean Crescent

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

59 Withdean Crescent is a four-bedroom detached house in Brighton (BN1 6WG). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since July 2012. Between certificates, main heating went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.

5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2013–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£711/sq ft) was about 112% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 132 m² it's 23.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (173 m² median across 18 EPCs). Most recent transfer: June 2021 at £1,010,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 59 Withdean Crescent is modelled from its 132 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 6WG. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 59 Withdean Crescent. 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 59 Withdean Crescent was lodged in April 2013 at band E and expired in April 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to 59 Withdean Crescent. 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 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 6WG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
59 Withdean Crescent is in council tax band G. 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.
