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 £354,000 sits 412.3% 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.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2 Dorchester Court is modelled from its 120 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WD19 4DB. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 2 Dorchester Court. 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 2 Dorchester Court was lodged in February 2024 at band C and is valid until February 2034. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 2 Dorchester Court. 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 4DB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Dorchester Court is in council tax band C. 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.
