Overview

About 31 Cromer Road

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

31 Cromer Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Watford (WD24 4DY). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 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. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £367,000 sits 144.7% above the 2007 sale of £150,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£188/sq ft) was about 33.3% below the postcode norm.
