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 18 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 £169,000 is 36.3% 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.
