Overview

About 23 Ford Way

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

23 Ford Way is a detached house in Downley, High Wycombe, High Wycombe (HP13 5XW). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £581,000 sits 96.9% above the 2003 sale of £295,000.
