Overview

About 16 Preston Village Mews

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

16 Preston Village Mews is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 6XU). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2020) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in October 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good.

Held since January 1997 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £480,000 sits 433.3% above the 1997 sale of £90,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£63/sq ft) was about 67.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2004. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 16 Preston Village Mews is modelled from its 132 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 6XU. 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 16 Preston Village Mews. 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 16 Preston Village Mews was lodged in March 2020 at band C and is valid until March 2030. 2 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 16 Preston Village Mews. 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 37 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 6XU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
16 Preston Village Mews is in council tax band E. 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.
