About 1 Lea Road
1 Lea Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD24 6DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. At 61 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–89 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (September 2025) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since.
It hasn't traded since October 2008, a hold of 18 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. At 61 m² it's 21.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 5 EPCs). Across 2001–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £347,000 is 43.4% above the 2008 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2009.
