About 277 Albion Street

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

277 Albion Street is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Southwick, Brighton, Brighton (BN42 4AT). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C.

Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump.
