How the estimate is made
The estimate for 13 Brighton Road is modelled from its 94 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD24 5HN. 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.

About 13 Brighton Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
13 Brighton Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Watford (WD24 5HN). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1011 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2011) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from November 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £433,000 sits 88.3% above the 2007 sale of £230,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 94 m² it's 25.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (75 m² median across 31 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar 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 13 Brighton Road is modelled from its 94 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD24 5HN. 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 13 Brighton Road. 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 13 Brighton Road was lodged in November 2011 at band E and expired in November 2021, 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. 2 applications are matched to 13 Brighton Road. 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 5HN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 13 Brighton Road is in council tax band D. 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.
