Overview

About 9 Blackthorn Close

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

9 Blackthorn Close is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD25 7EL). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
