Overview

About Cuckmere House

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

Cuckmere House is a property in Eastbourne (BN21 1EU). It has a recorded floor area of 30 m² (around 326 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. The latest certificate (March 2011) shows an F (score 24), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 64), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.

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 Cuckmere House is modelled from its 30 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN21 1EU. 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 Cuckmere House. 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 Cuckmere House was lodged in March 2011 at band F and expired in March 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Cuckmere House. 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN21 1EU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
