About 45 Coates Way
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
45 Coates Way is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD25 9NR). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2020) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 102 m² it's 23.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (83 m² median across 16 EPCs). Across 2001–2020, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.3% per year.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 45 Coates Way is modelled from its 102 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD25 9NR. 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 45 Coates Way. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 45 Coates Way. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
