Overview

About Dudeney Lodge

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

Dudeney Lodge is a one-bedroom detached house in Brighton (BN1 7GT). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 44 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 64 units on EPC record in Dudeney Lodge, where floor areas span 38–57 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2009–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 25% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £161,000 sits 61% above the 2009 sale of £100,000.
