Overview

About Whispers

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

Whispers is a three-bedroom detached house in Ballinger, Great Missenden, Great Missenden (HP16 9LN). It has a recorded floor area of 198 m² (around 2131 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since March 2011, a hold of 15 years that's notably long for the area. At 198 m² the property is well over the postcode median (93 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £941,000 sits 94% above the 2011 sale of £485,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£228/sq ft) was about 44.3% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2011.
