Overview

About 5 Dene Close

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

5 Dene Close is a two-bedroom detached house in East Dean, Eastbourne, Eastbourne (BN20 0JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (121 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2023. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £442,000 is 46.1% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£530/sq ft) was about 92.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in January 2016.

Method

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 5 Dene Close is modelled from its 53 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN20 0JJ. 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 5 Dene Close. 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 5 Dene Close was lodged in October 2015 at band E and expired in October 2025, 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. 1 application is matched to 5 Dene Close. 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 0JJ. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Dene Close is in council tax band E. 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.
