Overview

About 7 Bucknalls Lane

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

7 Bucknalls Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD25 9NE). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1117 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility.

Today's modelled estimate of £591,000 is 42.4% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£371/sq ft) was about 40% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. At 104 m² it's 18.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (127 m² median across 18 EPCs).

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 7 Bucknalls Lane is modelled from its 104 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WD25 9NE. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 7 Bucknalls Lane. 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 7 Bucknalls Lane was lodged in September 2009 at band E and expired in September 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 7 Bucknalls Lane. 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD25 9NE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7 Bucknalls Lane is in council tax band E. 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.
