Overview

About 2 Kings Road

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

2 Kings Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Southwick, Brighton, Brighton (BN42 4RJ). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 58 m² it sits well below the postcode median (83 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2016. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £387,000 is 44.7% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£428/sq ft) was about 65% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
