Overview

About 18a

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

18a is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Watford (WD19 4AE). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2012 onwards. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since September 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

At 99 m² the property is well over the postcode median (75 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £561,000 is 42.7% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£369/sq ft) was about 44% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 18a is modelled from its 99 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WD19 4AE. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 18a. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 18a was lodged in April 2026 at band C and is valid until April 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 18a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD19 4AE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
