About 6 Bracken Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
6 Bracken Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Eastbourne (BN20 8SH). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 827 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2011) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from March 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a corner plot.
Held since June 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £298,000 sits 71.3% above the 2011 sale of £174,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£210/sq ft) was about 16.4% below the postcode norm.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 6 Bracken Road is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN20 8SH. 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 6 Bracken Road. 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 6 Bracken Road was lodged in March 2011 at band D and expired in March 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 6 Bracken Road. 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 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN20 8SH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 6 Bracken Road is in council tax band C. 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.
