Overview

About 8 Hillside

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

8 Hillside is a three-bedroom detached house in East Dean, Eastbourne, Eastbourne (BN20 0HE). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2019) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in May 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 111 m² it's 26% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (150 m² median across 20 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £518,000 sits 72.7% above the 2009 sale of £300,000.
