Overview

About 7 Kings Road

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

7 Kings Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Southwick, Brighton, Brighton (BN42 4RJ). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2025) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69).

Held since July 2008 — that's 18 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. At 126 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2006–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 35.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £546,000 sits 79% above the 2008 sale of £305,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
