Overview

About 31 Highfield

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

31 Highfield is a four-bedroom detached house in Watford (WD19 5DY). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1432 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 133 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1998–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £743,000 is 48.6% above the 2012 sale price.
