Overview

About 4 Buckingham Road

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

4 Buckingham Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD24 7BT). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 836 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
