About 25 Carden Hill
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
25 Carden Hill is a two-bedroom detached house in Brighton (BN1 8AA). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 716 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. At 67 m² this is the 6th smallest of 32 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 11–135 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 32 units on file. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £309,000 sits 79.1% above the 2014 sale of £172,500. Last sold in January 2014, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.

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 25 Carden Hill is modelled from its 67 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 8AA. 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 25 Carden Hill. 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 25 Carden Hill was lodged in November 2010 at band C and expired in November 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 25 Carden Hill. 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 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 8AA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 25 Carden Hill 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.
