Overview

About 4 Castle Rise

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

4 Castle Rise is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in High Wycombe (HP13 6FQ). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. At 46 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across 4 Castle Rise (46–104 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.

Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 46 m² it sits well below the postcode median (84 m² across 23 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £184,000 is 31.4% above the 2009 sale price.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Castle Rise is modelled from its 46 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP13 6FQ. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 4 Castle Rise. 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 4 Castle Rise was lodged in October 2019 at band C and is valid until October 2029. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 4 Castle Rise. 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 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP13 6FQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Castle Rise is in council tax band B. 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.
