7a, Walpole Terrace, Brighton, BN2 0EB

7a is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN2 0EB). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 48 m² this is the 33rd smallest of 70 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–212 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (November 2019) shows a C (score 70). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since February 2009.

Today's modelled estimate of £495,000 is 19.8% below the 2007 sale of £617,500, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,195/sq ft) was about 306.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since June 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.
