Overview

About 8 Wellington Road

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

8 Wellington Road is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD17 1QU). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1317 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 122 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). 4 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 2 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £590,000 sits 179.6% above the 2001 sale of £211,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£160/sq ft) was about 33.5% below the postcode norm.
