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.

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 211a is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD24 5BH. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 211a. 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 211a was lodged in September 2018 at band C and is valid until September 2028. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 211a. 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 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD24 5BH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
211a 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.
