Overview

About 16 The Goffs

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

16 The Goffs is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Eastbourne (BN21 1HD). It has a recorded floor area of 162 m² (around 1744 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and roof efficiency went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

It hasn't traded since July 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £643,000 sits 158.2% above the 2001 sale of £249,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£143/sq ft) was about 22.4% below the postcode norm. At 162 m² it's 19.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (136 m² median across 24 EPCs).
