Overview

About 28a

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

28a is a one-bedroom detached house in Southwick, Brighton, Brighton (BN42 4DH). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 69 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (69–157 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 14 units on file. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

It hasn't traded since September 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. Across 2003–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 34.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £229,000 sits 64.7% above the 2006 sale of £139,000. At 69 m² it sits well below the postcode median (114 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 77% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 28a is modelled from its 69 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN42 4DH. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 28a. 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 28a was lodged in August 2025 at band C and is valid until August 2035. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 28a. 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN42 4DH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
28a is in council tax band A. 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.
