About 14 Chichester Drive West
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
14 Chichester Drive West is a seven-bedroom detached house in Saltdean, Brighton, Brighton (BN2 8SH). It has a recorded floor area of 191 m² (around 2056 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony, notable views and a self-contained annexe. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
Held since April 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.

Today's modelled estimate of £670,000 sits 332.3% above the 2001 sale of £155,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£75/sq ft) was about 70.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2012. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 14 Chichester Drive West is modelled from its 191 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN2 8SH. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 14 Chichester Drive West. 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 14 Chichester Drive West was lodged in September 2014 at band E and expired in September 2024, 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. 1 application is matched to 14 Chichester Drive West. 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 8SH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 14 Chichester Drive West is in council tax band E. 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.
