2 Church Lane, Eastbourne, BN21 1HU

2 Church Lane is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Eastbourne (BN21 1HU). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 613 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 54). The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 57 m² it sits well below the postcode median (88 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £309,000 sits 54.5% above the 2007 sale of £200,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£326/sq ft) was about 137.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
