Overview

About 40b

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

40b is a one-bedroom detached house in Eastbourne (BN21 1DL). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 52 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 34 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 45–312 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 34 units on file. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (112 m² across 33 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1998–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £185,000 is 28.5% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£257/sq ft) was about 62% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 9 years since the last transfer (May 2017).

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 40b is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN21 1DL. 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 40b. 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 40b was lodged in December 2013 at band D and expired in December 2023, 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. None is matched to 40b. 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 1DL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
40b is in council tax band A. 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.
