Overview

About 12a

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

12a is a mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN2 5AA). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 530 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 49 m² this is the 4th smallest of 69 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–179 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 63). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (84 m² across 68 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2019.
