Overview

About 50a

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

50a is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD19 4BX). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 60 m² this is the 15th 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 top. The latest certificate (July 2021) shows a C (score 72).

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in May 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the 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 50a is modelled from its 60 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 50a. 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 50a was lodged in July 2021 at band C and is valid until July 2031. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 50a. 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
50a 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.
