Overview

About 4a

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

4a is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Rottingdean, Brighton, Brighton (BN2 7GR). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 82 m² it sits well below the postcode median (122 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2000–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £488,000 is 24.3% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£445/sq ft) was about 66.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

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 4a is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN2 7GR. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 4a. 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 4a was lodged in February 2015 at band D and expired in February 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 4a. 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 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN2 7GR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4a 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.
