About 23a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
23a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Brighton (BN2 5TG). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 49 m² this is the 13th smallest of 37 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 33–175 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 37 units on file.
At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (74 m² across 36 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2007–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.4% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£616/sq ft) was about 168.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold March 2022 for £325,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 23a is modelled from its 49 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN2 5TG. 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 23a. 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 23a was lodged in August 2014 at band D and expired in August 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 23a. 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 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN2 5TG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 23a 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.
