Overview

About 15 Blackford Road

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

15 Blackford Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD19 6YW). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 955 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 1999 — that's 27 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. Today's modelled estimate of £423,000 sits 352.4% above the 1999 sale of £93,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£98/sq ft) was about 75.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 15 Blackford Road is modelled from its 89 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WD19 6YW. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 15 Blackford Road. 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 15 Blackford Road was lodged in July 2009 at band D and expired in July 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 15 Blackford Road. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD19 6YW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
15 Blackford Road is in council tax band D. 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.
