About Tylers Cottage
Tylers Cottage is a mid-terrace house in Watford (WD25 8AX). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since April 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £585,000 sits 368% above the 1997 sale of £125,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£164/sq ft) was about 37.3% below the postcode norm. At 71 m² it sits well below the postcode median (109 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
