Local market context
Dolls House Cottage is a detached house in Penn, High Wycombe, High Wycombe (HP10 8LN). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 1999 — that's 27 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. 9 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 4 refused, 1 pending. An active application for new windows is awaiting a decision. Today's modelled estimate of £524,000 sits 179.5% above the 1999 sale of £187,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£290/sq ft) was about 21.7% below the postcode norm. At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (116 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
Recommended upgrades on file would lift this property by multiple EPC bands.
