Overview

About 30a

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

30a is a two-bedroom detached house in Watford (WD19 4AE). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 669 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2011) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from November 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.

Most recent transfer: January 2021 at £520,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.

At 62 m² it's 19.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (77 m² median across 23 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £579,000 is 11.3% above the 2021 sale price.

Method

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 30a is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales 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. 4 sales are recorded for 30a. 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 30a was lodged in November 2011 at band E and expired in November 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 30a. 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.
Council tax band
30a is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
