Overview

About 2 Chichester Close

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

2 Chichester Close is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Saltdean, Brighton, Brighton (BN2 8LL). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. At 55 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 26–86 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (August 2020) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on biomass.

It hasn't traded since October 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 55 m² it's 24.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (73 m² median across 11 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 73% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £263,000 is 33.2% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£334/sq ft) was about 62.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 2 Chichester Close is modelled from its 55 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN2 8LL. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 2 Chichester Close. 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 2 Chichester Close was lodged in August 2020 at band C and is valid until August 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 2 Chichester Close. 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN2 8LL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Chichester Close 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.
