About The Cot

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

The Cot is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ovingdean, Brighton, Brighton (BN2 7BB). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
