I installed a new bathroom a couple of months ago. 70s bungalow.
Right from the start, I noticed that the WC sometimes required 2
flushes to clear toilet paper. The new WC pan is smaller the old model
and the cistern is smaller.
This house I'm in, when moving in it had one o those continental jobbies
in(all in one very low cistern) and it was doing exactly what you're
describing,after much frustion in clearing blockages I decide to change the
loo and cistern.

That solved it.

Don't know whether thats the case of yours though?

I suspect it may be a common problem with modern WCs. They are more
compact and have smaller flush volumes.
How I miss my beige coloured 1970s Armitage Shanks WC!

Shove some caustic down it.
