About 175a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
175a is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Eastbourne (BN20 8QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 924 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since May 2009. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
Held since February 2010 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 86 m² the property is well over the postcode median (65 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 1995–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.9% per year.
