About 18 Faraday Court
18 Faraday Court is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD18 6AD). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold. At 80 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (46–80 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (April 2022) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since November 2011. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.
It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 80 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £277,000 is 21.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£265/sq ft) was about 26% below the postcode norm.
