Overview

About 36 Muriel Avenue

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

36 Muriel Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD18 0BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
