Overview

About 16 Beech Road

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

16 Beech Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD24 6NY). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2012. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

2 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused, 1 pending. An active application for an extension is awaiting a decision. Today's modelled estimate of £473,000 sits 103.4% above the 2012 sale of £232,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£235/sq ft) was about 49.5% below the postcode norm. Last sold in April 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
