153a, New Road, High Wycombe, HP12 4RQ

153a is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in High Wycombe (HP12 4RQ). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2007–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 19.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £439,000 sits 59.6% above the 2007 sale of £275,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£281/sq ft) was about 53.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2024. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
