Overview

About 8 Dell Side

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

8 Dell Side is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD24 6NR). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.

It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 20 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. Today's modelled estimate of £454,000 sits 114.2% above the 2007 sale of £212,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
