Overview

About 21 Albert Road

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

21 Albert Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southwick, Brighton, Brighton (BN42 4GE). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2024) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.

Held since February 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £432,000 sits 105.7% above the 2007 sale of £210,000.
