Overview

About 14a

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

14a is a detached house in Brighton (BN2 5AA). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1332 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 124 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 112–168 m². On EPC score it ranks first in the building (68 versus a worst of 61). The latest certificate (January 2010) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from January 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2004–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,207,000 is 19.5% below the 2017 sale of £1,500,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,126/sq ft) was about 272% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 124 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 68 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 9 years ago, in August 2017.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 14a is modelled from its 124 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN2 5AA. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 14a. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 14a was lodged in January 2010 at band D and expired in January 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to 14a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN2 5AA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
