Overview

About 2a

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

2a is a three-bedroom detached house in Aldenham, Watford, Watford (WD25 8AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74).

It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 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. Today's modelled estimate of £811,000 sits 90.6% above the 2008 sale of £425,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£363/sq ft) was about 18.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2009.
