Overview

About 251a

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

251a is a semi-detached house in High Wycombe (HP12 3AS). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. At 42 m² this is the 5th smallest of 34 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 28–240 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (December 2019) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £174,000 is 79.3% below the 2019 sale of £840,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,858/sq ft) was about 553.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (60 m² across 33 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 251a is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP12 3AS. 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 251a. 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 251a was lodged in December 2019 at band E and is valid until December 2029. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 251a. 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP12 3AS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
251a is in council tax band C. 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.
