About 128 Longhill Road

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

128 Longhill Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Ovingdean, Brighton, Brighton (BN2 7BD). It has a recorded floor area of 154 m² (around 1657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2012) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Very Good.
