Local market context
Flat 2 is an end-of-terrace house in Old Town, Eastbourne, Eastbourne (BN21 1QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2023) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since May 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 20 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. Today's modelled estimate of £235,000 sits 78% above the 2007 sale of £132,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£231/sq ft) was about 37.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 53 m² it's 22.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (68 m² median across 27 EPCs).
Recommended upgrades on file would lift this property by multiple EPC bands.
