Overview

About 4 Payne Terrace

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

4 Payne Terrace is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 7GP). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. At 54 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 45–60 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in October 2015 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £302,000 is 16.6% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£446/sq ft) was about 75.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

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 4 Payne Terrace is modelled from its 54 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 7GP. 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 4 Payne Terrace. 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 4 Payne Terrace was lodged in February 2026 at band C and is valid until February 2036. 2 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 4 Payne Terrace. 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 35 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 7GP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Payne Terrace 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.
