Overview

About 124a

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

124a is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in High Wycombe (HP12 3BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in January 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (71 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1998–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £157,000 is 26.6% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£288/sq ft) was about 50.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 124a is modelled from its 40 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HP12 3BJ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 124a. 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 124a was lodged in September 2020 at band E and is valid until September 2030. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 124a. 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 3BJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
124a 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.
