About 4b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4b is an end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD17 2QT). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929.

Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 4b is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD17 2QT. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 4b. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 4b was lodged in November 2015 at band F and expired in November 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 4b. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 35 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD17 2QT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
