About 96 Eastbourne Road

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

96 Eastbourne Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Polegate (BN26 5DF). It has a recorded floor area of 182 m² (around 1959 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£174/sq ft) was about 31.8% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused.
