About 23 Brookdene Avenue
23 Brookdene Avenue is a three-bedroom detached house in Watford (WD19 4LG). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in August 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £836,000 sits 138.9% above the 2009 sale of £350,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£220/sq ft) was about 28.4% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused.
