Overview

About Norton Cottage

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

Norton Cottage is a detached house in Rottingdean, Brighton, Brighton (BN2 7HA). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 86 m² it's 29.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (122 m² median across 24 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £494,000 sits 361.7% above the 1997 sale of £107,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£116/sq ft) was about 67.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: new windows refused in 2013.

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 Norton Cottage is modelled from its 86 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN2 7HA. 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 Norton Cottage. 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 Norton Cottage was lodged in September 2012 at band F and expired in September 2022, 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. 1 application is matched to Norton Cottage. 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 7HA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Norton Cottage is in council tax band G. 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.
