Overview

About 20 Carisbrooke Avenue

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

20 Carisbrooke Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD24 4HU). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 834 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2010) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £487,000 sits 73.9% above the 2012 sale of £280,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Last sold in October 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.

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 20 Carisbrooke Avenue is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WD24 4HU. 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 20 Carisbrooke Avenue. 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 20 Carisbrooke Avenue was lodged in June 2010 at band E and expired in June 2020, 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 20 Carisbrooke Avenue. 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 4HU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
20 Carisbrooke Avenue 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.
