Overview

About Linkswood

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

Linkswood is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Eastbourne (BN21 1EF). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold. At 92 m² this is the 7th smallest of 32 units on EPC record in Linkswood, where floor areas span 70–145 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 32 units on file. Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2016–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 45.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £335,000 is 16.5% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£290/sq ft) was about 28.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
