Overview

About 8c

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

8c is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD17 1PT). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 398 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2022) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (March 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). At 37 m² this is the 4th smallest of 23 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 16–171 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 23 units on file.

It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £235,000 sits 62.1% above the 2007 sale of £145,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£364/sq ft) was about 23.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 37 m² it's 20.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (47 m² median across 22 EPCs).
