Overview

About 16 Biskra

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

16 Biskra is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD17 4PF). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2021) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). At 63 m² this is the 7th smallest of 17 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 61–74 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 17 units on file.

It hasn't traded since January 1998, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £285,000 sits 313% above the 1998 sale of £69,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£102/sq ft) was about 70.3% below the postcode norm.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 16 Biskra is modelled from its 63 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WD17 4PF. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 16 Biskra. 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 Biskra was lodged in November 2021 at band D and is valid until November 2031. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 16 Biskra. 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 35 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD17 4PF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
16 Biskra 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.
