About 7 Hollingsworth Mews
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
7 Hollingsworth Mews is a mid-terrace house in Watford (WD25 0AB). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 388 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band C. At 36 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 18 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–56 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (February 2023) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Main heating runs on electricity.
Held since December 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £209,000 sits 52.6% above the 2009 sale of £137,000.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 7 Hollingsworth Mews is modelled from its 36 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WD25 0AB. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 7 Hollingsworth Mews. 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 7 Hollingsworth Mews was lodged in February 2023 at band C and is valid until February 2033. 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 7 Hollingsworth Mews. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD25 0AB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 7 Hollingsworth Mews is in council tax band C. 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.
