About 7 Fincham Close
7 Fincham Close is a three-bedroom detached house in East Preston, Littlehampton, Littlehampton (BN16 1LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1009 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The property has an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £446,000 sits 305.5% above the 1997 sale of £110,000.
