About 5 Bucks Avenue

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

5 Bucks Avenue is a detached house in Watford (WD19 4AR). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since March 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
