Overview

About 1 Oakdene Road

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

1 Oakdene Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD24 6RN). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £413,000 sits 146.6% above the 2011 sale of £167,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£222/sq ft) was about 20.2% below the postcode norm. 15 years since the last transfer (July 2011). At 70 m² it's 18.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (86 m² median across 27 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2015.
