Overview

About 17 Downsview Road

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

17 Downsview Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Eastbourne (BN20 9PT). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Other recorded features include notable views.

Across 1997–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £290,000 sits 69.6% above the 2013 sale of £171,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£284/sq ft) was about 25.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 56 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in April 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.

How to read this page

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 17 Downsview Road is modelled from its 56 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN20 9PT. 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 17 Downsview 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 17 Downsview Road was lodged in March 2026 at band D and is valid until March 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 17 Downsview 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 11 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN20 9PT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
17 Downsview 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.
