Overview

About 6 Duke Street

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

6 Duke Street is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD17 2PB). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2024) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in December 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.

Held since June 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £450,000 sits 73.1% above the 2008 sale of £260,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£310/sq ft) was about 21.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 1 refused.
