Overview

About 14 Carpenders Avenue

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

14 Carpenders Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD19 5BS). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and a loft.

Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in August 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £440,000 sits 319% above the 1998 sale of £105,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£177/sq ft) was about 40.1% below the postcode norm.
