Overview

About 1 Birinus Close

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

1 Birinus Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in High Wycombe (HP12 3LZ). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 571 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2009) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 53 m² this is the 5th smallest of 21 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–58 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 21 units on file. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since April 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £214,000 sits 336.7% above the 1995 sale of £49,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£86/sq ft) was about 60.9% below the postcode norm.

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 1 Birinus Close is modelled from its 53 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP12 3LZ. 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 1 Birinus Close. 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 1 Birinus Close was lodged in October 2009 at band D and expired in October 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 1 Birinus Close. 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 3LZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Birinus Close 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.
