About 5 Beaconsfield Road
5 Beaconsfield Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Portslade, Brighton, Brighton (BN41 1XA). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since February 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1995–2003, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £362,000 sits 123.5% above the 2003 sale of £162,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
