Overview

About 13 Parkgate Road

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

13 Parkgate Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Watford (WD24 7BS). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2012–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 33.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £435,000 sits 75.8% above the 2013 sale of £247,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£319/sq ft) was about 51.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. At 72 m² it's 17.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (88 m² median across 6 EPCs).

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 13 Parkgate Road is modelled from its 72 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD24 7BS. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 13 Parkgate Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 13 Parkgate Road was lodged in March 2013 at band D and expired in March 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 13 Parkgate Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD24 7BS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
13 Parkgate Road is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
