About 17a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17a is a semi-detached house in High Wycombe (HP12 4BD). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 388 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. At 36 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 28–164 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (September 2024) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in September 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good.
Today's modelled estimate of £176,000 is 19.6% below the 2022 sale of £219,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£565/sq ft) was about 155.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 36 m² it sits well below the postcode median (97 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 73% of similar EPCs). Most recent transfer: November 2022 at £219,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2005.
