Overview

About 23 Birch Grove Crescent

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

23 Birch Grove Crescent is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Brighton (BN1 8DN). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1127 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 105 m² the property is well over the postcode median (64 m² across 41 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £410,000 sits 82.2% above the 2009 sale of £225,000.
