Overview

About 8 Hillrise Avenue

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

8 Hillrise Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD24 7NR). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 74 m² the property is well over the postcode median (49 m² across 43 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2005–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £481,000 sits 71.8% above the 2013 sale of £280,000. Last sold in March 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.
