About 17 Garratts Way
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Garratts Way is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in High Wycombe (HP13 5BX). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 477 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. At 44 m² this is the 5th smallest of 15 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 38–103 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Last sold in February 2014, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £170,000 is 25% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£285/sq ft) was about 16.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 17 Garratts Way is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HP13 5BX. 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 17 Garratts Way. 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 17 Garratts Way was lodged in October 2008 at band D and expired in October 2018, 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. None is matched to 17 Garratts Way. 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 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP13 5BX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 Garratts Way 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.
