The estimate for Hathaway is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 8HR. 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.

About Hathaway
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Hathaway is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Brighton (BN1 8HR). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.
At 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (96 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2000–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £375,000 is 29.3% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£599/sq ft) was about 83.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in May 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 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 Hathaway is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 8HR. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Hathaway. 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 Hathaway was lodged in February 2015 at band D and expired in February 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to Hathaway. 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 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 8HR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Hathaway is in council tax band C. 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.
