About 12 Chichester Drive West

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

12 Chichester Drive West is a detached house in Saltdean, Brighton, Brighton (BN2 8SH). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since December 2015. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump.
