Overview

About 7 Longhill Close

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

7 Longhill Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Ovingdean, Brighton, Brighton (BN2 7AX). It has a recorded floor area of 147 m² (around 1578 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony and attached land beyond the plot.

It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 147 m² the property is well over the postcode median (103 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £611,000 sits 107.1% above the 2009 sale of £295,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£187/sq ft) was about 48.9% below the postcode norm.
