Overview

About 9a

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

9a is a mid-terrace house in Watford (WD17 1QR). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. At 63 m² this is the 25th smallest of 39 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 33–153 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (43 versus a best of 81). The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 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 £298,000 is 11.6% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£394/sq ft) was about 23.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in April 2016.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 9a is modelled from its 63 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WD17 1QR. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 9a. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 9a was lodged in June 2014 at band E and expired in June 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 9a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 37 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD17 1QR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
