Overview

About 1 Devereux Drive

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

1 Devereux Drive is a detached house in Watford (WD17 3DD). It has a recorded floor area of 303 m² (around 3261 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in August 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Held since April 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 303 m² the property is well over the postcode median (165 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £1,448,000 sits 183.9% above the 2009 sale of £510,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£156/sq ft) was about 63.4% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2012.
