Overview

About 1 Bruce Grove

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

1 Bruce Grove is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Watford (WD24 4DZ). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 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. At 80 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 31.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £418,000 sits 87.4% above the 2007 sale of £223,000.

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 1 Bruce Grove is modelled from its 80 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD24 4DZ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1 Bruce Grove. 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 1 Bruce Grove was lodged in March 2016 at band D and expired in March 2026, 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. None is matched to 1 Bruce Grove. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 35 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD24 4DZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Bruce Grove is in council tax band C. 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.
