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 171 m² (around 1841 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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. Today's modelled estimate of £966,000 sits 89.4% above the 2009 sale of £510,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£277/sq ft) was about 29.7% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2012.
