Overview

About 5a

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

5a is a semi-detached house in Eastbourne (BN20 7NT). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 99 m² this is the 6th smallest of 17 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 87–204 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 17 units on file.

It hasn't traded since September 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £687,000 sits 69.6% above the 2003 sale of £405,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£380/sq ft) was about 87.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 99 m² it sits well below the postcode median (154 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 5a is modelled from its 99 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN20 7NT. 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 5a. 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 5a was lodged in April 2012 at band D and expired in April 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5a. 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. The 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN20 7NT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5a is in council tax band G. 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.
