Overview

About 5b

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

5b is a three-bedroom 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 F. 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 2 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. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £768,000 sits 55.2% above the 2014 sale of £495,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£426/sq ft) was about 34.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 12 years ago, in March 2014. At 108 m² it's 20.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (137 m² median across 8 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2015.
