About 8 Chiltern Cottages

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

8 Chiltern Cottages is a semi-detached house in Ibstone, High Wycombe, High Wycombe (HP14 3XZ). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an F (score 22), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 59), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1995–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £514,000 is 22.4% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£402/sq ft) was about 19.8% below the postcode norm.
