Overview

About 4 First Avenue

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

4 First Avenue is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Wembley (HA9 8QG). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since February 2016. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £521,000 sits 96.6% above the 2006 sale of £265,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£300/sq ft) was about 24.4% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a loft conversion and solar panel installation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
