Overview

About Flat 2

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

Flat 2 is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Eastbourne (BN21 2DT). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. At 53 m² this is the 4th smallest of 7 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 48–81 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 7 units on file. The latest certificate (March 2017) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in January 2007. 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 £145,000 sits 65.7% above the 2007 sale of £87,500. At 53 m² it's 25.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (71 m² median across 24 EPCs).
