Overview

About 5 Ashdown Avenue

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

5 Ashdown Avenue is a five-bedroom detached house in Saltdean, Brighton, Brighton (BN2 8AH). It has a recorded floor area of 253 m² (around 2723 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since April 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 253 m² the property is well over the postcode median (128 m² across 34 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £869,000 sits 128.7% above the 2009 sale of £380,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£140/sq ft) was about 44.3% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

How to read this page

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Ashdown Avenue is modelled from its 253 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN2 8AH. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 5 Ashdown 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 5 Ashdown Avenue was lodged in April 2013 at band D and expired in April 2023, 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. 2 applications are matched to 5 Ashdown 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 8AH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Ashdown Avenue 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.
