About 6 Church Lane

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

6 Church Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Southwick, Brighton, Brighton (BN42 4GD). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1107 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in March 2007. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £526,000 sits 71.3% above the 2007 sale of £307,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£277/sq ft) was about 18.2% below the postcode norm. At 103 m² it sits well below the postcode median (159 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
