About 52 Church Street
52 Church Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Old Town, Eastbourne, Eastbourne (BN21 1QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1016 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a G (score 5), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in August 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 94 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £263,000 sits 102.3% above the 2009 sale of £130,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£128/sq ft) was about 25.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
