Overview

About 4 York Road

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

4 York Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Watford (WD18 0BE). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2018) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80).

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in August 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £336,000 sits 85.1% above the 2009 sale of £181,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£307/sq ft) was about 20.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 55 m² it's 20.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (69 m² median across 35 EPCs).
