Overview

About 47 Watford Road

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

47 Watford Road is a four-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL1 2AE). It has a recorded floor area of 157 m² (around 1690 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £1,139,000 is 33.2% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£506/sq ft) was about 15.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2015.
