Overview

About 1 Privet Drive

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

1 Privet Drive is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Leavesden, Watford, Watford (WD25 7FD). It has a recorded floor area of 135 m² (around 1458 sq ft) and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2011) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The latest certificate is from December 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels and underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

Across 2012–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £695,000 is 13% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£422/sq ft) was about 38% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.

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 1 Privet Drive is modelled from its 135 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD25 7FD. 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 1 Privet Drive. 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 1 Privet Drive was lodged in December 2011 at band B and expired in December 2021, 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 1 Privet Drive. 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 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD25 7FD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Privet Drive is in council tax band E. 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.
