Overview

About 12 Falmer Close

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

12 Falmer Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Eastbourne (BN20 9AB). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2024) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since January 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £448,000 sits 65.9% above the 2007 sale of £270,000.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 12 Falmer Close is modelled from its 108 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN20 9AB. 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 Falmer Close. 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 Falmer Close was lodged in June 2024 at band E and is valid until June 2034. 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 12 Falmer Close. 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 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN20 9AB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
12 Falmer Close 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.
