Overview

About 2 Biskra

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

2 Biskra is a semi-detached house in Watford (WD17 4PF). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on electricity. At 66 m² this is the 11th 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.

Across 1997–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 17% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £282,000 is 91.5% below the 2022 sale of £3,319,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£4,672/sq ft) was about 1378.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: August 2022 at £3,319,000.

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 2 Biskra is modelled from its 66 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales 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. 2 sales are recorded for 2 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 2 Biskra was lodged in June 2025 at band D and is valid until June 2035. 5 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 2 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
2 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.
