About 8 Babylon Way
8 Babylon Way is a four-bedroom detached house in Eastbourne (BN20 9DL). It has a recorded floor area of 135 m² (around 1453 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
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 £594,000 sits 104.8% above the 2009 sale of £290,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£200/sq ft) was about 19.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
