About 21 Courtlands Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
21 Courtlands Close is a semi-detached house in Watford (WD24 5GR). It has a recorded floor area of 31 m² (around 334 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. At 31 m² this is the 6th smallest of 27 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–55 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 27 units on file. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since April 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £183,000 sits 181.5% above the 2000 sale of £65,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£195/sq ft) was about 23.1% below the postcode norm. At 31 m² it's 18.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (38 m² median across 26 EPCs).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 21 Courtlands Close is modelled from its 31 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WD24 5GR. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 21 Courtlands Close. 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 21 Courtlands Close was lodged in February 2016 at band D and expired in February 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 21 Courtlands Close. 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 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD24 5GR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 21 Courtlands Close 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.
