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).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 157 Amersham Road is modelled from its 66 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HP13 5AE. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 4 sales are recorded for 157 Amersham Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 157 Amersham Road was lodged in September 2010 at band F and expired in September 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 157 Amersham Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP13 5AE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 157 Amersham Road is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
