1a, Kings Avenue, Eastbourne, BN21 2PE

1a is a four-bedroom detached house in Eastbourne (BN21 2PE). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1475 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony. The home occupies a corner plot.

It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 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. At 137 m² the property is well over the postcode median (99 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2023. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1996–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £490,000 is 46.3% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£227/sq ft) was about 28.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
