Overview

About 16a

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

16a is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rottingdean, Brighton, Brighton (BN2 7HQ). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2020) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). At 50 m² this is the 7th smallest of 29 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 30–150 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 29 units on file. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since April 1995, a hold of 31 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. Today's modelled estimate of £232,000 sits 562.9% above the 1995 sale of £35,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£65/sq ft) was about 79.4% below the postcode norm. At 50 m² it sits well below the postcode median (87 m² across 28 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 16a is modelled from its 50 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN2 7HQ. 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 16a. 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 16a was lodged in May 2020 at band D and is valid until May 2030. 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 16a. 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 7HQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
16a is in council tax band B. 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.
