5 Woodside, Watford, WD24 6QT
About 5 Woodside
5 Woodside is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD24 6QT). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 1996–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £464,000 sits 70% above the 2013 sale of £273,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£292/sq ft) was about 46.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). On the market in September 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years.
