About 20 Cross Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
20 Cross Road is a semi-detached house in High Wycombe (HP12 3JZ). It has a recorded floor area of 149 m² (around 1604 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. At 149 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £360,000 sits 233.3% above the 2003 sale of £108,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£67/sq ft) was about 52.9% below the postcode norm. 8 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 4 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 20 Cross Road is modelled from its 149 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP12 3JZ. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 20 Cross Road. 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 20 Cross Road was lodged in December 2013 at band D and expired in December 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 8 applications are matched to 20 Cross Road. 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP12 3JZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 20 Cross Road is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
