Overview

About 20c

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

20c is a detached house in High Wycombe (HP12 3BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it B (December 2012); the latest reading is 3 bands lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £404,000 is 13.8% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£471/sq ft) was about 138.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in December 2016.
