About 2c
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2c is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Brighton (BN2 5JL). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2021) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 55 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 50 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 36–130 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 50 units on file.
Held since November 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1996–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £263,000 sits 58.2% above the 2010 sale of £166,250. At 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (80 m² across 49 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 73% of similar EPCs).

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 2c is modelled from its 55 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN2 5JL. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 2c. 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 2c was lodged in May 2021 at band C and is valid until May 2031. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 2c. 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 5JL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2c is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
