Overview

About Hilary Lodge

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

Hilary Lodge is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Brighton (BN2 0BP). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. At 53 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Hilary Lodge (53–71 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 10 units on file. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The latest certificate (September 2024) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). Main heating runs on electricity.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £289,000 is 40.8% above the 2012 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£360/sq ft) was about 22.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 14 years ago, in July 2012.
