Overview

About 18a

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

18a is a property in High Wycombe (HP12 3BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in July 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

At 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (71 m² across 48 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Last sold in November 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1995–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £189,000 is 22.7% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£325/sq ft) was about 64.9% 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 18a is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HP12 3BQ. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 18a. 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 18a was lodged in March 2026 at band E and is valid until March 2036. 2 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 18a. 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 3BQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
