Overview

About Dorchester Court

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

Dorchester Court is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Eastbourne (BN20 9HE). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. At 40 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Dorchester Court (40–51 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 6 units on file. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in December 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (58 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £159,000 is 40.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£262/sq ft) was about 44.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Dorchester Court is modelled from its 40 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN20 9HE. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Dorchester Court. 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 Dorchester Court was lodged in January 2020 at band D and is valid until January 2030. 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 Dorchester Court. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN20 9HE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Dorchester Court is in council tax band B. 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.
