Overview

About 20 The Lees

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

20 The Lees is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Brighton (BN2 5YW). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2012 onwards and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2026) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since May 2016. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 20 The Lees is modelled from its 67 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN2 5YW. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 20 The Lees. 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 20 The Lees was lodged in June 2026 at band B and is valid until June 2036. 2 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 20 The Lees. 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 5YW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
20 The Lees is in council tax band C. 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.
