About 18 Elton Park

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

18 Elton Park is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD17 4NW). It has a recorded floor area of 27 m² (around 291 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. At 27 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (27–65 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 32 units on file.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in May 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 27 m² it sits well below the postcode median (44 m² across 31 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.4% per year.
