Overview

About 68 High Street

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

68 High Street is a mid-terrace house in Watford (WD17 2BS). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (August 2018) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (August 2018); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Good to Very Good. Main heating runs on electricity. At 57 m² this is the 17th smallest of 26 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 38–116 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 26 units on file.

Today's modelled estimate of £277,000 is 70.4% below the 2015 sale of £935,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,524/sq ft) was about 357.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Last changed hands 11 years ago, in November 2015. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016.
