Overview

About 10 Merlin Way

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

10 Merlin Way is a five-bedroom detached house in Leavesden, Watford, Watford (WD25 7GJ). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (October 2010) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from October 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Last sale on file: £775,000 in February 2021. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 96 m² it's 24.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (77 m² median across 15 EPCs). Across 2001–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.7% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£750/sq ft) was about 114% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
