Overview

About 2 Loates Lane

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

2 Loates Lane is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Watford (WD17 2AB). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2021) shows a C (score 74). Earlier certificates rated it B (February 2010); the latest reading is one band lower.

Held since February 2008 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
