About Hilary Lodge
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Hilary Lodge is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Brighton (BN2 0BP). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since November 2009. Between certificates, main heating went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 71 m² this is the 9th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in Hilary Lodge, where floor areas span 53–71 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 10 units on file.
Untraded for 26 years, with the last transfer in October 2000. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 71 m² the property is well over the postcode median (51 m² across 37 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £307,000 sits 250.9% above the 2000 sale of £87,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£114/sq ft) was about 63.5% below the postcode norm.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Hilary Lodge is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN2 0BP. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Hilary Lodge. 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 Hilary Lodge was lodged in March 2015 at band E and expired in March 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.
