Overview

About 157 Amersham Road

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

157 Amersham Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in High Wycombe (HP13 5AE). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 708 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 47).

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1997–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £365,000 sits 62.2% above the 2014 sale of £225,000. On the market in February 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years.
