Overview

About 44 Cross Road

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

44 Cross Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Watford (WD19 4DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include notable views. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (January 2021) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.

At 140 m² it's 22.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (114 m² median across 13 EPCs). Across 2002–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.1% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£458/sq ft) was about 47.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2008. Last sale on file: £690,000 in February 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
