Overview

About 53 Freshfield Road

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

53 Freshfield Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN2 0BL). It has a recorded floor area of 157 m² (around 1690 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record.

Across 1995–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £926,000 sits 63.9% above the 2013 sale of £565,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£334/sq ft) was about 71.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 53 Freshfield Road is modelled from its 157 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN2 0BL. 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 53 Freshfield 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 53 Freshfield Road was lodged in May 2013 at band E and expired in May 2023, 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. None is matched to 53 Freshfield 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 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN2 0BL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
53 Freshfield Road 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.
