Overview

About 5 Coningesby Drive

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

5 Coningesby Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD17 3BD). It has a recorded floor area of 180 m² (around 1932 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £890,000 is 30.3% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£353/sq ft) was about 24.3% below the postcode norm. Last sold in November 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Coningesby Drive is modelled from its 180 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD17 3BD. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 5 Coningesby Drive. 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 5 Coningesby Drive was lodged in September 2009 at band E and expired in September 2019, 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. 2 applications are matched to 5 Coningesby Drive. 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 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD17 3BD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Coningesby Drive is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
