Overview

About 5 Carpenders Avenue

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

5 Carpenders Avenue is a semi-detached house in Watford (WD19 5BS). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £482,000 sits 199.4% above the 2001 sale of £161,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£237/sq ft) was about 19.9% below the postcode norm. At 63 m² it's 26.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (86 m² median across 24 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
