Overview

About Ground Floor Flat

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

Ground Floor Flat is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Eastbourne (BN21 3DN). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (November 2016) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£360/sq ft) was about 146.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in November 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
