Overview

About 21 Benton Road

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

21 Benton Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD19 6XD). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since July 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £395,000 sits 107.9% above the 2011 sale of £190,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£215/sq ft) was about 24% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
