Overview

About 3 Buckingham Road

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

3 Buckingham Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD24 7BT). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £550,000 sits 62.2% above the 2013 sale of £339,000. Last sold in August 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
