About 12 Saltdean Drive
12 Saltdean Drive is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Saltdean, Brighton, Brighton (BN2 8SB). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1508 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony and notable views. Period features are noted in the property record.
Held since September 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. Today's modelled estimate of £708,000 sits 77% above the 2009 sale of £400,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs).
