Local market context
120 North Western Avenue is a semi-detached house in Watford (WD25 0AN). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2026) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2021 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
At 100 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£437/sq ft) was about 73.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold September 2021 for £470,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
Recommended upgrades on file would lift this property by multiple EPC bands.
