Overview

About 17 The Brow

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

17 The Brow is a four-bedroom detached house in Friston, Eastbourne, Eastbourne (BN20 0ES). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1415 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 65), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 132 m² it sits well below the postcode median (248 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £835,000 sits 57.5% above the 2009 sale of £530,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£374/sq ft) was about 57.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 5 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 17 The Brow is modelled from its 132 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN20 0ES. 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 17 The Brow. 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 17 The Brow was lodged in June 2009 at band F and expired in June 2019, 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. 5 applications are matched to 17 The Brow. 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 0ES. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
17 The Brow is in council tax band G. 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.
