39 Brooks Lane is a detached house in Bosham, Chichester, Chichester (PO18 8JT). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72).

Held since December 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. At 148 m² the property is well over the postcode median (102 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £565,000 sits 527.8% above the 1997 sale of £90,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£56/sq ft) was about 75% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
