Overview

About 16 East Drive

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

16 East Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD25 0AH). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since December 2005 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £395,000 sits 139.4% above the 2005 sale of £165,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
