Overview

About 7a

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

7a is a five-bedroom detached house in Watford (WD19 4AF). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2019) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since November 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since May 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 81 m² the property is well over the postcode median (57 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £809,000 sits 70.3% above the 2007 sale of £475,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£545/sq ft) was about 57.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 7a is modelled from its 81 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD19 4AF. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 7a. 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 7a was lodged in March 2019 at band E and is valid until March 2029. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 7a. 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 4AF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7a is in council tax band F. 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.
