About 15 Glenfalls Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Glenfalls Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Brighton (BN1 8SJ). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 3-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.
Across 2013–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £740,000 sits 51% above the 2021 sale of £490,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£859/sq ft) was about 182.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (87 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sale on file: £490,000 in March 2021.

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 15 Glenfalls Avenue is modelled from its 53 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 8SJ. 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 15 Glenfalls Avenue. 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 15 Glenfalls Avenue 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. 2 applications are matched to 15 Glenfalls Avenue. 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 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 8SJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 15 Glenfalls Avenue 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.
