Get started1 Chestnut Rise is a three-bedroom detached house in Bushey (WD23 1AB). It has a recorded floor area of 158 m² (around 1701 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in October 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87). The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.
Today's modelled estimate of £804,000 sits 129.7% above the 2013 sale of £349,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£206/sq ft) was about 53.6% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs). 13 years since the last transfer (January 2013).
