Overview

About 442a

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

442a is an end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD24 6PJ). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 60 m² this is the 19th smallest of 40 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 30–156 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (June 2018) shows a C (score 70).

It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area.
