Local market context
20 High Cliff Court is a mid-terrace house in Rottingdean, Brighton, Brighton (BN2 7JP). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 66 m² this is the 20th smallest of 28 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 15–80 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since April 1996, a hold of 30 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 66 m² the property is well over the postcode median (41 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £280,000 sits 1900% above the 1996 sale of £14,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£20/sq ft) was about 93% below the postcode norm.
