Overview

About 1 Hawkhurst Road

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

1 Hawkhurst Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Brighton (BN1 9GF). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1432 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2023) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in August 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since.

Held since November 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

Today's modelled estimate of £454,000 sits 51.3% above the 2007 sale of £300,000.
