Overview

About 24 Highfield Crescent

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

24 Highfield Crescent is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Brighton (BN1 8JD). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Sold March 2021 for £360,000. Across the public record there are 5 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Across 2004–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £428,000 is 18.9% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£356/sq ft) was about 23.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Method

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 24 Highfield Crescent is modelled from its 94 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 8JD. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 24 Highfield Crescent. 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 24 Highfield Crescent was lodged in May 2012 at band E and expired in May 2022, 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 24 Highfield Crescent. 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 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 8JD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
24 Highfield Crescent 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.
