How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5a is modelled from its 56 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD24 6BU. 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 5a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD24 6BU). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 607 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2010) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from May 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Across 2011–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £355,000 sits 64.4% above the 2013 sale of £216,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£356/sq ft) was about 28.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 56 m² it sits well below the postcode median (89 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2011. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in June 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 5a is modelled from its 56 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD24 6BU. 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 5a. 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 5a was lodged in May 2010 at band D and expired in May 2020, 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. 1 application is matched to 5a. 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 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD24 6BU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5a is in council tax band C. 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.
