Laurel House, Flat 1, 29 St Johns Road, Watford, WD17 1PY

Laurel House is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Watford (WD17 1PY). It has a recorded floor area of 31 m² (around 329 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2010) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83).

Held since September 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £320,000 sits 236.8% above the 1999 sale of £95,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£289/sq ft) was about 18.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 31 m² it sits well below the postcode median (46 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2017.
