Overview

About Chaucer Lodge

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

Chaucer Lodge is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Worthing (BN11 4NU). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 57 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Chaucer Lodge (57–105 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 57 m² it sits well below the postcode median (97 m² across 29 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1997–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £322,000 is 13% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£465/sq ft) was about 168.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: May 2022 at £285,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
