About 43 Bucknalls Lane
43 Bucknalls Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD25 9NE). It has a recorded floor area of 164 m² (around 1765 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in September 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 164 m² the property is well over the postcode median (120 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 89% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £597,000 sits 88% above the 2012 sale of £317,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£180/sq ft) was about 35.6% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in January 2012, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.
