Overview

About 32a

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

32a is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Watford (WD17 2QT). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 383 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 36 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (36–168 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include a basement. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows a C (score 72). The latest certificate is from April 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in September 2007. Across the public record there are 5 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 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £223,000 sits 55.9% above the 2007 sale of £143,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£373/sq ft) was about 63% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 36 m² it sits well below the postcode median (62 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs).
