About 5 London Road
5 London Road is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in High Wycombe (HP11 1BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a basement excavation and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Last sold in July 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Today's modelled estimate of £675,000 is 42.7% above the 2016 sale price.
