Overview

About Chalkdell House

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

Chalkdell House is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD25 0TA). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2003-2006. The latest certificate (January 2010) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating.

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 Chalkdell House is modelled from its 59 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD25 0TA. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Chalkdell House. 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 Chalkdell House was lodged in January 2010 at band B and expired in January 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Chalkdell House. 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 0TA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
