About 30 Vicarage Road
30 Vicarage Road is an end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD18 0EH). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 747 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (December 2010) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Very Good. The latest certificate is from December 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 69 m² this is the 6th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 52–77 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 8 units on file.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in March 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £322,000 sits 53.3% above the 2007 sale of £210,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£281/sq ft) was about 29.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: subdivision refused in 2010.
