25a, Desborough Park Road, High Wycombe, HP12 3BQ
About 25a
25a is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in High Wycombe (HP12 3BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2019) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70).
It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (70 m² across 47 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £190,000 is 31.1% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£354/sq ft) was about 79.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
