About 8 The Thrums
8 The Thrums is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD24 6DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since April 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average 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 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.
Today's modelled estimate of £482,000 sits 121.6% above the 2012 sale of £217,500. 14 years since the last transfer (March 2012). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016.
