About 33 Leaford Crescent
33 Leaford Crescent is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD24 5JQ). It has a recorded floor area of 150 m² (around 1615 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (August 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
At 150 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 34 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £503,000 sits 69.1% above the 2011 sale of £297,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£184/sq ft) was about 49.7% below the postcode norm. Last changed hands 15 years ago, in December 2011. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2012.
