Overview

About 38a

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

38a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD25 9RA). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. At 64 m² this is the 11th smallest of 30 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 44–114 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (October 2025) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Average to Poor.

Held since June 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £291,000 sits 87.7% above the 2009 sale of £155,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£225/sq ft) was about 23.2% below the postcode norm.
