Overview

About 26 Walpole Road

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

26 Walpole Road is a mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN2 0EA). It has a recorded floor area of 217 m² (around 2336 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 1995, a hold of 30 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. At 217 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £861,000 sits 504.2% above the 1995 sale of £142,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£61/sq ft) was about 79.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
