About 243 Wickham Chase
243 Wickham Chase is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in West Wickham (BR4 0BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1442 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2022) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since July 1998 — that's 28 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 £696,000 sits 406.2% above the 1998 sale of £137,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£95/sq ft) was about 66.6% below the postcode norm. At 134 m² it's 27% larger than the typical home in the postcode (106 m² median across 8 EPCs).
