17 Desmond Road, Eastbourne, BN22 7LF
About 17 Desmond Road
17 Desmond Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Eastbourne (BN22 7LF). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in April 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony and notable views.
Held since April 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £312,000 is 38.1% above the 2007 sale price.
