Overview

About 21 Highfield

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

21 Highfield is a detached house in Watford (WD19 5DY). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 123 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £794,000 sits 194.1% above the 1998 sale of £269,995.
