Overview

About 2 Dorchester Court

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

2 Dorchester Court is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Watford (WD19 4DB). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. At 120 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (64–120 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (February 2024) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in February 2022 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Good to Very Good.

It hasn't traded since February 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 120 m² the property is well over the postcode median (67 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £344,000 sits 397.8% above the 1999 sale of £69,100. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£53/sq ft) was about 83% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.
