Homes and premises

Homes sold on this street

HM Land Registry records 19 standard sales of homes on Devonshire Road since 2017, and 179 since 1995. Newest first, by month and price; house numbers and flat names are left out. Flats include maisonettes.

Every sale, with the address, is in the Land Registry's own search: Devonshire Road. House prices in Hastings, by year, kind of home and ward.

Contains HM Land Registry data © Crown copyright and database right 2026. This data is licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Standard sales only: the Land Registry's category A, "single residential property sold for value". Repossessions, buy-to-let purchases with a mortgage and sales to companies (its category B) aren't included. A sale reaches the register weeks or months after it completes, so the last few months to August 2026 are incomplete.

Energy ratings on this street

99 homes on Devonshire Road have a current energy performance certificate, registered 2017 to 2026. Each home counts once, by its newest certificate; homes without one aren't counted.

Air quality nearby

The council's nitrogen dioxide tube at Carlise Parade, about 330 m from the middle of this street: an annual mean of 16.5 µg/m³ in 2025.

Every year the report gives: 2021: 19.3, 2022: 19.1, 2023: 16.9, 2024: 16.0, 2025: 16.5 (µg/m³).

Each figure is for the kerbside spot where the tube or monitor sits, not for the whole street. The report compares each site “with the air quality objective of 40µg/m3”, an annual mean. From the borough council's 2026 Air Quality Annual Status Report (May 2026, read 12 October 2026). Every site
