Overview

About 3 Dittons Road

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

3 Dittons Road is a semi-detached house in Eastbourne (BN21 1DN). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in November 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 129 m² this is the 5th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 75–300 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom.

2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a conservatory and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in December 2016. Today's modelled estimate of £442,000 is 21.1% above the 2016 sale price.

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 3 Dittons Road is modelled from its 129 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN21 1DN. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 3 Dittons 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 3 Dittons Road was lodged in May 2016 at band E and expired in May 2026, 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 3 Dittons 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 1DN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Dittons Road is in council tax band D. 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.
