About 244b
244b is an end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD24 4AX). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft) and council tax band B. At 38 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–110 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (78 versus a worst of 43). The latest certificate (February 2019) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band.
It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (79 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £216,000 is 44% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£367/sq ft) was about 97% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
