Overview

About 23 Cecil Street

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

23 Cecil Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Watford (WD24 5AS). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Held since April 2007 — that's 19 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 £386,000 sits 108.6% above the 2007 sale of £185,000.
