Overview

About 196 New Road

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

196 New Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in High Wycombe (HP12 4RG). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 971 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £385,000 sits 86.9% above the 2010 sale of £206,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion, an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
