How the estimate is made
The estimate for 10 Dunsmore is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD19 5AU. 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.

About 10 Dunsmore
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
10 Dunsmore is a two-bedroom detached house in Watford (WD19 5AU). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. At 82 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 7 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 71–95 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2003–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.4% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£368/sq ft) was about 54.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £325,000 in November 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 10 Dunsmore is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD19 5AU. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 10 Dunsmore. 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 10 Dunsmore was lodged in September 2014 at band D and expired in September 2024, 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. None is matched to 10 Dunsmore. 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 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD19 5AU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 10 Dunsmore is in council tax band D. 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.
