Overview

About 1 Bedford Grove

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

1 Bedford Grove is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Eastbourne (BN21 2DT). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 763 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows a G (score 15), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (July 2010); the latest reading is 2 bands lower.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Bedford Grove is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN21 2DT. 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 1 Bedford Grove. 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 1 Bedford Grove was lodged in January 2012 at band G and expired in January 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 Bedford Grove. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN21 2DT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Bedford Grove is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
