Overview

About 50 Cross Road

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

50 Cross Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD19 4DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1037 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 47). The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1997–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £615,000 sits 61.8% above the 2010 sale of £380,000.

Past consents include a loft conversion and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 50 Cross Road is modelled from its 96 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD19 4DQ. 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 50 Cross Road. 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 50 Cross Road was lodged in September 2009 at band F and expired in September 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 50 Cross Road. 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 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD19 4DQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
50 Cross Road is in council tax band E. 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.
