Overview

About 198 New Road

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

198 New Road is a three-bedroom detached house in High Wycombe (HP12 4RG). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Untraded for 26 years, with the last transfer in July 2000. 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 £526,000 sits 232.9% above the 2000 sale of £158,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£125/sq ft) was about 45.3% below the postcode norm. At 117 m² it's 27.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (92 m² median across 25 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs).
