Overview

About 5 Penrose Avenue

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

5 Penrose Avenue is a semi-detached house in Watford (WD19 5AE). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
