Overview

About 171b

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

171b is a two-bedroom detached house in High Wycombe (HP12 3AF). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. At 64 m² this is the 23rd smallest of 26 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 13–356 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 64 m² the property is well over the postcode median (45 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. On the market in April 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years.
