Southcourt is a detached house in Bosham, Chichester, Chichester (PO18 8EH). It has a recorded floor area of 178 m² (around 1916 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a C (score 72).

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 178 m² the property is well over the postcode median (110 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £820,000 sits 99.5% above the 2007 sale of £411,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£215/sq ft) was about 17.8% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
