Overview

About 2a

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

2a is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN2 5JR). It has a recorded floor area of 155 m² (around 1668 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2025) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since March 2012. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85).

Held since April 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 155 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 48 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £585,000 sits 134% above the 2007 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£150/sq ft) was about 48.9% below the postcode norm.
