Overview

About 17 Aurora Close

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

17 Aurora Close is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Watford (WD25 0NF). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2012 onwards and council tax band C. At 54 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 17 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 52–133 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (June 2024) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (June 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.

At 54 m² it sits well below the postcode median (111 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in July 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. Today's modelled estimate of £272,000 is 36% above the 2014 sale price.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 17 Aurora Close is modelled from its 54 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WD25 0NF. 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 17 Aurora Close. 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 17 Aurora Close was lodged in June 2024 at band C and is valid until June 2034. 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 17 Aurora Close. 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 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD25 0NF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
17 Aurora Close 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.
