Overview

About 5 Church Road

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

5 Church Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Watford (WD17 4PY). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 598 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in October 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

Today's modelled estimate of £428,000 sits 72.7% above the 2013 sale of £247,780. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£414/sq ft) was about 17.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs). Last sold in June 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.

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 5 Church Road is modelled from its 56 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WD17 4PY. 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 5 Church Road. 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 5 Church Road was lodged in September 2010 at band C and expired in September 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 5 Church Road. 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 4PY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Church Road is in council tax band D. 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.
