Overview

About The Laines

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

The Laines is a four-bedroom detached house in East Dean, Eastbourne, Eastbourne (BN20 0DS). It has a recorded floor area of 204 m² (around 2196 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe and outbuildings.

At 204 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in January 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Today's modelled estimate of £1,052,000 is 31.5% above the 2016 sale price.
