About 196 Pickhurst Rise
196 Pickhurst Rise is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in West Wickham (BR4 0AU). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1231 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 57), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £582,000 sits 76.4% above the 2009 sale of £330,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
