About Flat 5
Flat 5 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN2 0BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2021) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since July 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £239,000 sits 554.8% above the 1997 sale of £36,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£68/sq ft) was about 82.3% below the postcode norm. At 50 m² it sits well below the postcode median (186 m² across 23 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
