About 15 Court Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Court Close is a five-bedroom detached house in Brighton (BN1 8YG). It has a recorded floor area of 214 m² (around 2303 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in January 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Good to Very Good; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 214 m² the property is well over the postcode median (144 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 88% of similar EPCs). 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in August 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years. Across 2012–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £940,000 is 25.3% above the 2018 sale price.

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 Court Close is modelled from its 214 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 8YG. 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 Court Close. 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 Court Close was lodged in August 2013 at band C and expired in August 2023, 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 15 Court Close. 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 12 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 8YG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 15 Court Close is in council tax band E. 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.
