About 85 Freshfield Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
85 Freshfield Road is a five-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN2 0BL). It has a recorded floor area of 219 m² (around 2357 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record.
At 219 m² the property is well over the postcode median (155 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £734,000 sits 144.7% above the 2015 sale of £300,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£127/sq ft) was about 35.8% below the postcode norm.

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 85 Freshfield Road is modelled from its 219 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale 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. 1 sale is recorded for 85 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 85 Freshfield Road was lodged in August 2016 at band F and expired in August 2026, 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. 1 application is matched to 85 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
- 85 Freshfield 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.
