Overview

About 23 The Gardens

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

23 The Gardens is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Southwick, Brighton, Brighton (BN42 4AP). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Today's modelled estimate of £390,000 sits 75.3% above the 2014 sale of £222,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£345/sq ft) was about 65.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (89 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 12 years ago, in July 2014.
