Overview

About 6 Smith Street

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

6 Smith Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD18 0AA). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 69 m² it's 19% larger than the typical home in the postcode (58 m² median across 13 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 2 refused. The record references listed-building consent and conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. On the market in October 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years. Across the public record there are 7 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1996–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £390,000 is 15% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£456/sq ft) was about 129.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
