Overview

About 1 Summerdown Lane

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

1 Summerdown Lane is a three-bedroom detached house in East Dean, Eastbourne, Eastbourne (BN20 0LF). It has a recorded floor area of 176 m² (around 1894 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2020) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2016); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). Main heating runs on wood logs. Other recorded features include a conservatory and outbuildings.

At 176 m² the property is well over the postcode median (102 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in May 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. Across 2003–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £801,000 is 36.9% above the 2017 sale price.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Summerdown Lane is modelled from its 176 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN20 0LF. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1 Summerdown Lane. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC

Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Summerdown Lane. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures

Council tax band
1 Summerdown Lane is in council tax band F. 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.
