Overview

About 4 Berceau Walk

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

4 Berceau Walk is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD17 3BL). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1427 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £946,000 sits 89.4% above the 2009 sale of £499,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£350/sq ft) was about 15% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

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 4 Berceau Walk is modelled from its 133 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD17 3BL. 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 4 Berceau Walk. 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 4 Berceau Walk was lodged in January 2009 at band E and expired in January 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. 3 applications are matched to 4 Berceau Walk. 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 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD17 3BL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Berceau Walk 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.
