Overview

About 23 Colbourne Avenue

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

23 Colbourne Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Brighton (BN2 4GE). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £386,000 sits 74.7% above the 2014 sale of £221,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£250/sq ft) was about 26% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in March 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
