About Upfolds
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Upfolds is a four-bedroom detached house in Friston, Eastbourne, Eastbourne (BN20 0AS). It has a recorded floor area of 256 m² (around 2756 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (August 2019) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include a balcony and outbuildings. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
It hasn't traded since August 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £1,325,000 sits 223.2% above the 1999 sale of £410,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£149/sq ft) was about 49.7% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. 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 89% of similar EPCs).

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 Upfolds is modelled from its 256 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN20 0AS. 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 Upfolds. 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 Upfolds was lodged in August 2019 at band E and is valid until August 2029. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to Upfolds. 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from BN20 0AS. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Upfolds is in council tax band H. 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.
