Overview

About 20 Five Fields Close

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

20 Five Fields Close is a semi-detached house in Watford (WD19 5BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1266 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £684,000 sits 55.5% above the 2009 sale of £440,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£348/sq ft) was about 89.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
