Overview

About Grasshopper House 2 4

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

Grasshopper House 2 4 is a mid-terrace house in Watford (WD17 1AA). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. At 39 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in Grasshopper House 2 4, where floor areas span 38–39 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (63 versus a worst of 53). The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
