About 24 Shaftesbury Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
24 Shaftesbury Road is a mid-terrace house in Watford (WD17 2RQ). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 75 m² it's 17.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (64 m² median across 22 EPCs). Across 2003–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.2% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£440/sq ft) was about 71.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
