Overview

About 41 Brightwell Road

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

41 Brightwell Road is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD18 0HR). It has a recorded floor area of 24 m² (around 258 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. At 24 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (24–132 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 28 units on file. The latest certificate (September 2017) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in November 2015 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good.

Today's modelled estimate of £345,000 is 11.5% below the 2016 sale of £390,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,510/sq ft) was about 423.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 24 m² it sits well below the postcode median (74 m² across 27 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 10 years since the last transfer (February 2016). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2009.
