Overview

About 1 The Vale

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

1 The Vale is a four-bedroom detached house in Ovingdean, Brighton, Brighton (BN2 7AB). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 131 m² it's 23.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (172 m² median across 15 EPCs).
