Overview

About 24 Southfields Road

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

24 Southfields Road is a six-bedroom detached house in Eastbourne (BN21 1BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 299 m² (around 3218 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 55). The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in October 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 299 m² the property is well over the postcode median (154 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £992,000 is 25.9% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£245/sq ft) was about 24.2% 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 24 Southfields Road is modelled from its 299 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN21 1BZ. 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 24 Southfields 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 24 Southfields Road was lodged in September 2010 at band E and expired in September 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 24 Southfields 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN21 1BZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
24 Southfields Road is in council tax band G. 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.
