Overview

About 1 Longhill Road

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

1 Longhill Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Ovingdean, Brighton, Brighton (BN2 7BF). It has a recorded floor area of 162 m² (around 1744 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (November 2019) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80).

Held since February 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £733,000 sits 87.9% above the 2007 sale of £390,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£224/sq ft) was about 38.5% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 162 m² it's 26.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (128 m² median across 20 EPCs).

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Longhill Road is modelled from its 162 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN2 7BF. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Longhill Road. 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 1 Longhill Road was lodged in November 2019 at band D and is valid until November 2029. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 1 Longhill Road. 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN2 7BF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Longhill Road is in council tax band D. 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.
