Overview

About 2a

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

2a is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD25 7HZ). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2017) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in March 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
