About 5a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD24 5AN). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 481 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £273,000 sits 63.5% above the 2009 sale of £167,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£347/sq ft) was about 30.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (68 m² across 66 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
