Overview

About 17 Curlew Close

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

17 Curlew Close is a four-bedroom detached house in High Wycombe (HP13 5JY). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since February 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £479,000 sits 54.5% above the 2013 sale of £310,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£316/sq ft) was about 64.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. At 91 m² it's 15.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (107 m² median across 16 EPCs).
