Overview

About 20 Bowden Lane

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

20 Bowden Lane is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in High Wycombe (HP11 1DL). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 552 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2011) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The latest certificate is from July 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 51 m² it sits well below the postcode median (93 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On the market in October 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 20 Bowden Lane is modelled from its 51 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HP11 1DL. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 20 Bowden Lane. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 20 Bowden Lane was lodged in July 2011 at band C and expired in July 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 20 Bowden Lane. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP11 1DL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
20 Bowden Lane is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
