Overview

About 19 Chichester Drive East

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

19 Chichester Drive East is a three-bedroom detached house in Saltdean, Brighton, Brighton (BN2 8LD). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 943 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 88 m² it sits well below the postcode median (126 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £415,000 sits 66% above the 2009 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£265/sq ft) was about 36.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 19 Chichester Drive East is modelled from its 88 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN2 8LD. 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 19 Chichester Drive East. 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 19 Chichester Drive East was lodged in October 2008 at band E and expired in October 2018, 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. None is matched to 19 Chichester Drive East. 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 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN2 8LD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
19 Chichester Drive East is in council tax band D. 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.
