About 8 Highfields
8 Highfields is a semi-detached house in Brighton (BN1 9AR). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 17.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £383,000 sits 64.4% above the 2007 sale of £233,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£228/sq ft) was about 35.4% below the postcode norm. At 95 m² it's 16.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 4 EPCs).
