How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Judge Street is modelled from its 59 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WD24 5AN. 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.

About 1 Judge Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Judge Street is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD24 5AN). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft) and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since February 2015. Between certificates, floor efficiency went from Good to Very Good. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 59 m² this is the 16th smallest of 67 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–127 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to B across 67 units on file. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since June 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £293,000 sits 188.7% above the 2008 sale of £101,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£160/sq ft) was about 40% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 1 refused.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1 Judge Street is modelled from its 59 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WD24 5AN. 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 1 Judge Street. 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 1 Judge Street was lodged in February 2015 at band C and expired in February 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 1 Judge Street. 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 5AN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Judge Street 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.
