Overview

About 213 Desborough Avenue

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

213 Desborough Avenue is a three-bedroom detached house in High Wycombe (HP11 2TW). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1300 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in June 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 121 m² the property is well over the postcode median (90 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £470,000 sits 70.9% above the 2009 sale of £275,000. 6 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a loft conversion, a porch and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
