Overview

About 1 Marine Drive

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

1 Marine Drive is a two-bedroom detached house in Rottingdean, Brighton, Brighton (BN2 7HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 216 m² (around 2325 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2024) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Held since February 2000 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 216 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £944,000 sits 266.6% above the 2000 sale of £257,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£111/sq ft) was about 52.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 1 Marine Drive is modelled from its 216 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN2 7HJ. 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 1 Marine 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 1 Marine Drive was lodged in July 2024 at band D and is valid until July 2034. 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 1 Marine 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 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN2 7HJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Marine Drive is in council tax band F. 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.
