Overview

About 215 Desborough Avenue

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

215 Desborough Avenue is a four-bedroom detached house in High Wycombe (HP11 2TW). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (June 2011) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). 4 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 2 is the typical count. Across 2012–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £748,000 is 23.6% above the 2017 sale price.
