Overview

About 8 Cranleigh Avenue

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

8 Cranleigh Avenue is a detached house in Rottingdean, Brighton, Brighton (BN2 7GT). It has a recorded floor area of 151 m² (around 1630 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2010) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 55). The latest certificate is from May 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since September 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £698,000 sits 179.2% above the 2001 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£153/sq ft) was about 52.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar 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 8 Cranleigh Avenue is modelled from its 151 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN2 7GT. 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 8 Cranleigh Avenue. 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 8 Cranleigh Avenue was lodged in May 2010 at band E and expired in May 2020, 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. 1 application is matched to 8 Cranleigh Avenue. 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 7GT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Cranleigh Avenue 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.
