About 3 Durban Road East
3 Durban Road East is an end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD18 0RN). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 40 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (40–105 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 28 units on file. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since January 1999, a hold of 27 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 £224,000 sits 300.4% above the 1999 sale of £55,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£130/sq ft) was about 45.3% below the postcode norm. At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (75 m² across 27 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
