About 15 Decoy Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Decoy Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Eastbourne (BN22 0AB). It has a recorded floor area of 245 m² (around 2637 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
At 245 m² the property is well over the postcode median (138 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £754,000 is 43.6% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£199/sq ft) was about 16.6% below the postcode norm. Last sold in August 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 15 Decoy Drive is modelled from its 245 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN22 0AB. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 15 Decoy Drive. 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 15 Decoy Drive was lodged in March 2015 at band F and expired in March 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 15 Decoy Drive. 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 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN22 0AB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 15 Decoy Drive is in council tax band G. 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.
