About 7a
7a is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Watford (WD17 2QS). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 388 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 36 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 25 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 21–180 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (February 2019) shows a C (score 72). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average.
Held since August 2007 — that's 19 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. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £213,000 sits 51.1% above the 2007 sale of £141,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£364/sq ft) was about 38.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
