Overview

About 49 Kingston Lane

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

49 Kingston Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Southwick, Brighton, Brighton (BN42 4SJ). It has a recorded floor area of 160 m² (around 1722 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since April 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 160 m² the property is well over the postcode median (117 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an annexe approved in 2021.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 49 Kingston Lane is modelled from its 160 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN42 4SJ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 49 Kingston Lane. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 49 Kingston Lane was lodged in October 2013 at band D and expired in October 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 49 Kingston Lane. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN42 4SJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
49 Kingston Lane is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
