About 12 Elven Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
12 Elven Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in East Dean, Eastbourne, Eastbourne (BN20 0LG). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2024) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
Untraded for 20 years, with the last transfer in February 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £499,000 sits 107.9% above the 2007 sale of £240,000. At 91 m² it sits well below the postcode median (140 m² across 20 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.
