Overview

About 7a

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

7a is a two-bedroom detached house in High Wycombe (HP12 3BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2022) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. At 51 m² this is the 18th smallest of 48 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 23–315 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 48 units on file.

Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £202,000 sits 68.3% above the 2009 sale of £120,000.
