Flat 1, 7 Gore Park Road, Eastbourne, BN21 1TG

Flat 1 is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Eastbourne (BN21 1TG). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 44 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (44–139 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in March 1997. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £148,000 sits 279.5% above the 1997 sale of £39,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£82/sq ft) was about 56.4% below the postcode norm. At 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (96 m² across 31 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2017. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
