Overview

About 86 Balmoral Road

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

86 Balmoral Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD24 4ET). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since December 2008, a hold of 17 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 1995–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £448,000 sits 79.2% above the 2008 sale of £250,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs).
