About Basement Flat
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Basement Flat is an end-of-terrace house in Old Town, Eastbourne, Eastbourne (BN21 1QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (January 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since February 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £236,000 sits 105.2% above the 2010 sale of £115,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs).

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Basement Flat is modelled from its 68 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN21 1QJ. 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 Basement Flat. 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 Basement Flat was lodged in January 2015 at band E and expired in January 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.
