About 73 Hollingbury Road
73 Hollingbury Road is a detached house in Brighton (BN1 7JB). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in August 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since.

The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Most recent transfer: June 2021 at £610,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022.
