Overview

About 211a

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

211a is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD24 5BH). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2018) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. At 42 m² this is the 12th smallest of 30 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–246 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 30 units on file.

Held since August 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. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 79% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at -6.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £235,000 is 44.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£359/sq ft) was about 25.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2005.
