About 47 Brightling Road
47 Brightling Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Polegate (BN26 5AU). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 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. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £340,000 sits 54.5% above the 2007 sale of £220,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£324/sq ft) was about 59.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2010.
