Overview

About 33 Merlin Way

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

33 Merlin Way is a four-bedroom detached house in Leavesden, Watford, Watford (WD25 7GJ). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (January 2010) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from January 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in May 2010. At 148 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2002–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £717,000 sits 66.7% above the 2010 sale of £430,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£270/sq ft) was about 24.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 33 Merlin Way is modelled from its 148 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD25 7GJ. 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 33 Merlin Way. 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 33 Merlin Way was lodged in January 2010 at band D 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. 1 application is matched to 33 Merlin Way. 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 7GJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
33 Merlin Way is in council tax band G. 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.
