About 17 Southwick Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Southwick Street is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Southwick, Brighton, Brighton (BN42 4AD). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (May 2025) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2014. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump.
It changed hands recently, sold August 2025 for £299,950. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 17 Southwick Street is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN42 4AD. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 17 Southwick Street. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 17 Southwick Street was lodged in May 2025 at band E and is valid until May 2035. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 17 Southwick Street. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN42 4AD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 Southwick Street is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
