Overview

About 40a

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

40a is a three-bedroom detached house in Willingdon, Eastbourne, Eastbourne (BN20 9HT). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2003–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £468,000 is 37.6% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£355/sq ft) was about 73.5% 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 40a is modelled from its 89 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN20 9HT. 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 40a. 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 40a was lodged in July 2009 at band E and expired in July 2019, 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 40a. 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN20 9HT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
40a is in council tax band F. 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.
