Overview

About 20 Meadow Close

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

20 Meadow Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Rottingdean, Brighton, Brighton (BN2 7FB). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 708 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2011) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Average. The latest certificate is from December 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

Across 1996–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £412,000 is 20.1% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£485/sq ft) was about 55.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. At 66 m² it's 18.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (81 m² median across 38 EPCs).

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 20 Meadow Close is modelled from its 66 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN2 7FB. 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 20 Meadow Close. 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 20 Meadow Close was lodged in December 2011 at band D and expired in December 2021, 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 20 Meadow Close. 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 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN2 7FB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
20 Meadow Close is in council tax band C. 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.
