Church Lodge, The West Suite, Whitmore Lane, Ascot, SL5 0NT

Church Lodge is a semi-detached house in Ascot (SL5 0NT). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 593 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (January 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 2008, a hold of 18 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. 12 planning records sit against the property, 8 approved, 4 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion, an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2007–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £600,000 is 46% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£693/sq ft) was about 57% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
