Overview

About 27 Devon Road

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

27 Devon Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD24 4HP). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1289 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and a self-contained annexe. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a corner plot.

It hasn't traded since July 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 120 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £484,000 is 48.9% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£252/sq ft) was about 17.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 5 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 3 refused.

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 27 Devon Road is modelled from its 120 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD24 4HP. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 27 Devon 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 27 Devon Road was lodged in February 2009 at band E and expired in February 2019, 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. 5 applications are matched to 27 Devon 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 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD24 4HP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
27 Devon Road is in council tax band D. 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.
