Overview

About 87 Freshfield Road

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

87 Freshfield Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN2 0BL). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Other recorded features include notable views.

It hasn't traded since March 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 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £297,000 sits 98% above the 2007 sale of £150,000. At 73 m² it sits well below the postcode median (157 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
