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 £729,000 is 29% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£334/sq ft) was about 74.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
