Overview

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.

How to read this page

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 12 Elven Lane is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN20 0LG. 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 12 Elven Lane. 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 12 Elven Lane was lodged in March 2024 at band D and is valid until March 2034. 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 12 Elven 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
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 0LG. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
12 Elven Lane is in council tax band D. 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.
