Overview

About 17 Northfield Way

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

17 Northfield Way is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Brighton (BN1 8EH). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1323 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2010) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 67), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 123 m² it's 18.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (104 m² median across 10 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1997–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £510,000 sits 65.9% above the 2011 sale of £307,500. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in September 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.

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 17 Northfield Way is modelled from its 123 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 8EH. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 17 Northfield Way. 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 17 Northfield Way was lodged in July 2010 at band F and expired in July 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. 1 application is matched to 17 Northfield Way. 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 8EH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
17 Northfield Way is in council tax band D. 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.
