25 Dowding Way, Leavesden, Watford, WD25 7GA

25 Dowding Way is a five-bedroom detached house in Leavesden, Watford, Watford (WD25 7GA). It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1733 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 161 m² the property is well over the postcode median (117 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £791,000 sits 58.2% above the 2007 sale of £499,950. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
