About 12 Eastbank

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

12 Eastbank is a five-bedroom detached house in Southwick, Brighton, Brighton (BN42 4QL). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump.
