Overview

About 26 Balmoral Road

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

26 Balmoral Road is a mid-terrace house in Watford (WD24 4EP). It has a recorded floor area of 15 m² (around 161 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 15 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (15–145 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 19 units on file. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2025. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Today's modelled estimate of £233,000 is 44.5% below the 2025 sale of £420,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£2,601/sq ft) was about 1072.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It changed hands recently, sold December 2025 for £420,000. At 15 m² it sits well below the postcode median (88 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2014. Past consents include a loft conversion, 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 26 Balmoral Road is modelled from its 15 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WD24 4EP. 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 26 Balmoral 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 26 Balmoral Road was lodged in March 2026 at band D and is valid until March 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 26 Balmoral 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD24 4EP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
26 Balmoral Road 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.
