18 Highland Road, Chichester, PO19 5QX

18 Highland Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Chichester (PO19 5QX). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 934 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since November 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good, lighting went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from January 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £454,000 sits 236.3% above the 1998 sale of £135,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£145/sq ft) was about 67.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. 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 79% of similar EPCs).
