Overview

About 28a

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

28a is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Eastbourne (BN21 3XF). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2017) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump.

Today's modelled estimate of £199,000 sits 53.1% above the 2017 sale of £130,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£288/sq ft) was about 46.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (83 m² across 46 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). Last sold in June 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
