About 12 Bennett Road

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

12 Bennett Road is a mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN2 5JL). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since September 2014. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
