About Formosa

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

Formosa is a detached house in Naphill, High Wycombe, High Wycombe (HP14 4RB). It has a recorded floor area of 171 m² (around 1841 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2019) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72).

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in December 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

Today's modelled estimate of £889,000 sits 64.6% above the 2007 sale of £540,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£293/sq ft) was about 33.8% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
