Overview

About 3a

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

3a is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Eastbourne (BN21 1BU). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1279 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2011) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from September 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 119 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 36 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £389,000 sits 62.1% above the 2012 sale of £240,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£188/sq ft) was about 17.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
