Overview

About 12 Carpenders Avenue

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

12 Carpenders Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD19 5BS). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2020) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). Other recorded features include outbuildings.

Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £547,000 sits 86.4% above the 2009 sale of £293,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£359/sq ft) was about 23% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs).
