About Upfolds
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 £1,419,000 sits 246.1% 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).
