About 39 Brightwell Road
39 Brightwell Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Watford (WD18 0HR). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1240 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2009) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe.
Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in September 1996. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 115 m² the property is well over the postcode median (72 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £427,000 sits 973.4% above the 1996 sale of £39,780. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£32/sq ft) was about 89.5% below the postcode norm.
