Overview

About 176a

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

176a is a mid-terrace house in Watford (WD24 4AS). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2020) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home.

It hasn't traded since November 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £266,000 is 43% above the 2008 sale price.
