About 51 Upper Abbey Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
51 Upper Abbey Road is a mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN2 0AD). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a C (score 70). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 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 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 143.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £717,000 sits 83.8% above the 2007 sale of £390,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£285/sq ft) was about 15.1% below the postcode norm. 7 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 127 m² it's 22.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (104 m² median across 15 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 87% of similar EPCs).

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 51 Upper Abbey Road is modelled from its 127 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN2 0AD. 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 51 Upper Abbey Road. 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 51 Upper Abbey Road was lodged in April 2026 at band C and is valid until April 2036. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 7 applications are matched to 51 Upper Abbey Road. 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN2 0AD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 51 Upper Abbey Road 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.
