Overview

About 1 Elton Park

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

1 Elton Park is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD17 4NW). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C.

Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).
