Overview

About 26 Beech Road

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

26 Beech Road is a semi-detached house in Watford (WD24 6NY). 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 (March 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
