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).
