Overview

About Glenwood

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

Glenwood is a semi-detached house in Downley, High Wycombe, High Wycombe (HP13 5TR). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 116 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 58 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Last changed hands 9 years ago, in April 2017. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1999–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £504,000 is 10.8% above the 2017 sale price.
