Overview

About Ground Floor Flat

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

Ground Floor Flat is an end-of-terrace house in Portslade, Brighton, Brighton (BN41 1DA). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2005–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £187,000 sits 107.8% above the 2009 sale of £90,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£190/sq ft) was about 22.6% below the postcode norm. At 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (79 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
