About 22 Copse Avenue
22 Copse Avenue is a four-bedroom detached house in West Wickham (BR4 9NL). It has a recorded floor area of 149 m² (around 1605 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an F (score 24), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Held since October 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. Today's modelled estimate of £792,000 sits 61.6% above the 2009 sale of £490,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).
