About 12 Caledonian Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
12 Caledonian Court is an end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD17 1RY). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 481 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. At 45 m² this is the 21st smallest of 27 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–48 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since March 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1995–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £232,000 is 38.9% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£347/sq ft) was about 33.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 12 Caledonian Court is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD17 1RY. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 12 Caledonian Court. 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 12 Caledonian Court was lodged in March 2010 at band C and expired in March 2020, 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 12 Caledonian Court. 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 1RY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 12 Caledonian Court is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
