About 13 Richmond Drive

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

13 Richmond Drive is a detached house in Watford (WD17 3BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 261 m² (around 2809 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a C (score 72). The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 78% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £1,215,000 sits 161.3% above the 2007 sale of £465,000.
