Overview

About 28a

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

28a is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD19 4BX). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. At 64 m² this is the 20th smallest of 29 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–273 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1996–2024, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £303,000 is 16.5% above the 2024 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£377/sq ft) was about 46.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold March 2024 for £260,000.

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 28a is modelled from its 64 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD19 4BX. 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 28a. 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 28a was lodged in February 2016 at band E and expired in February 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 28a. 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 4BX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
28a is in council tax band B. 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.
