Overview

About 17 Carisbrooke Avenue

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

17 Carisbrooke Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD24 4HU). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in April 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 108), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2002–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £544,000 is 25.1% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£512/sq ft) was about 62% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2012.
