Overview

About 16 Wanderdown Road

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

16 Wanderdown Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Ovingdean, Brighton, Brighton (BN2 7BT). It has a recorded floor area of 220 m² (around 2368 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since May 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 220 m² the property is well over the postcode median (136 m² across 39 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

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 16 Wanderdown Road is modelled from its 220 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN2 7BT. 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 16 Wanderdown 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 16 Wanderdown Road was lodged in January 2016 at band E and expired in January 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 16 Wanderdown 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 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN2 7BT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
16 Wanderdown Road 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.
