Overview

About 6 Colbourne Avenue

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

6 Colbourne Avenue is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Brighton (BN2 4GE). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2018) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £430,000 sits 87% above the 2009 sale of £230,000. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
