Overview

About 29 Watsons Walk

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

29 Watsons Walk is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 1PD). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 126 m² the property is well over the postcode median (55 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2015. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2015–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 11% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £909,000 is 10.2% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£608/sq ft) was about 60.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: January 2022 at £825,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
