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. Last sold in November 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2014.
