Overview

About 12 Rosslyn Road

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

12 Rosslyn Road is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD18 0JY). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2022) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2012. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). At 38 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 22 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 31–377 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 22 units on file.

It hasn't traded since January 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £194,000 sits 223.3% above the 1998 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£147/sq ft) was about 69.9% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2011.
