Overview

About 276a

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

276a is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD24 6PE). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 80 m² it sits well below the postcode median (130 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Across 2003–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.5% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£360/sq ft) was about 136% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold May 2022 for £310,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
