Overview

About 1 Hope Green

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

1 Hope Green is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD25 7HQ). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 920 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2011) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from September 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £454,000 sits 83.8% above the 2012 sale of £247,000. Last sold in August 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2022.

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 Hope Green is modelled from its 86 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WD25 7HQ. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Hope Green. 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 Hope Green was lodged in September 2011 at band D and expired in September 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. 1 application is matched to 1 Hope Green. 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 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD25 7HQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Hope Green is in council tax band D. 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.
