About 18 Greenfield Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Greenfield Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD19 5DN). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2018. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 95 m² it's 18.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (80 m² median across 17 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Across 2011–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £600,000 is 10.7% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£530/sq ft) was about 38.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.

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 18 Greenfield Avenue is modelled from its 95 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD19 5DN. 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 18 Greenfield Avenue. 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 18 Greenfield Avenue was lodged in June 2016 at band E and expired in June 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 18 Greenfield Avenue. 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD19 5DN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 18 Greenfield Avenue is in council tax band E. 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.
