Overview

About 29b

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

29b is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Watford (WD24 5AX). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 377 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 35 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (35–107 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 42 units on file. The latest certificate (May 2023) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

At 35 m² it sits well below the postcode median (73 m² across 41 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 2004–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 0.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £192,000 is 38.1% above the 2012 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£369/sq ft) was about 65% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 14 years ago, in December 2012.

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 29b is modelled from its 35 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD24 5AX. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 29b. 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 29b was lodged in May 2023 at band E and is valid until May 2033. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 29b. 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 5AX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
29b is in council tax band B. 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.
