Overview

About 3 Ovingdean Close

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

3 Ovingdean Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Ovingdean, Brighton, Brighton (BN2 7AD). It has a recorded floor area of 211 m² (around 2271 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The property has an EV charger and underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 211 m² the property is well over the postcode median (129 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Sold April 2021 for £770,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. 8 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 5 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1997–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £965,000 is 25.3% above the 2021 sale price.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 Ovingdean Close is modelled from its 211 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN2 7AD. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 3 Ovingdean Close. 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 3 Ovingdean Close was lodged in April 2016 at band E and expired in April 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 8 applications are matched to 3 Ovingdean Close. 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 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN2 7AD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Ovingdean Close is in council tax band E. 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.
