Local market context
Flat 1 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Old Town, Eastbourne, Eastbourne (BN21 1QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2019) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £146,000 sits 108.6% above the 2009 sale of £70,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£130/sq ft) was about 23.6% below the postcode norm. At 50 m² it's 26.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (68 m² median across 27 EPCs).
