About 16 Elton Park
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Elton Park is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD17 4NW). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. At 46 m² this is the 23rd smallest of 32 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 27–65 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 32 units on file. The latest certificate (February 2018) shows a C (score 71). Main heating runs on electricity.
Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £225,000 is 22.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£372/sq ft) was about 57.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 16 Elton Park is modelled from its 46 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD17 4NW. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 16 Elton Park. 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 16 Elton Park was lodged in February 2018 at band C and is valid until February 2028. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 16 Elton Park. 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 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD17 4NW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 16 Elton Park is in council tax band C. 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.
