About Flat 1
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 1 is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in High Wycombe (HP12 3AE). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, lighting went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on electricity. At 48 m² this is the 4th smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 36–52 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 5 units on file.
Held since January 2005 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 48 m² the property is well over the postcode median (37 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Flat 1 is modelled from its 48 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP12 3AE. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Flat 1. 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 Flat 1 was lodged in December 2025 at band D and is valid until December 2035. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to Flat 1. 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP12 3AE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 1 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.
