Overview

About 8 Matlock Road

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

8 Matlock Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Eastbourne (BN20 7RA). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2020) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in January 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £378,000 sits 75.8% above the 2009 sale of £215,000. At 75 m² it sits well below the postcode median (109 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
