Overview

About 7 Wanderdown Drive

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

7 Wanderdown Drive is a five-bedroom detached house in Ovingdean, Brighton, Brighton (BN2 7BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1733 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Untraded for 20 years, with the last transfer in January 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £779,000 sits 83.3% above the 2007 sale of £425,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£245/sq ft) was about 29% below the postcode norm. At 161 m² it's 27.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (126 m² median across 5 EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count.

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 7 Wanderdown Drive is modelled from its 161 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN2 7BZ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 7 Wanderdown Drive. 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 7 Wanderdown Drive was lodged in January 2015 at band D and expired in January 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 7 Wanderdown Drive. 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 7BZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7 Wanderdown Drive 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.
