Overview

About 772a

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

772a is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD25 9FH). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows a C (score 74). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. At 57 m² this is the 14th smallest of 36 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 38–134 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 36 units on file. Other recorded features include outbuildings and a loft. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in December 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £279,000 sits 59.4% above the 2008 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£285/sq ft) was about 19.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 772a is modelled from its 57 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD25 9FH. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 772a. 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 772a was lodged in January 2020 at band C and is valid until January 2030. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 772a. 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 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD25 9FH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
772a is in council tax band C. 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.
