Overview

About 3 The Thrums

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

3 The Thrums is a semi-detached house in Watford (WD24 6DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

7 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 4 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £462,000 is 46.7% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£318/sq ft) was about 37.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in January 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years.
