About 3 Avalon Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Avalon Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Watford (WD25 9TW). It has a recorded floor area of 162 m² (around 1744 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2025) returns a high B (score 88), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was D, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity.
Held since December 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. At 162 m² the property is well over the postcode median (113 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £696,000 sits 74% above the 2009 sale of £400,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£229/sq ft) was about 16.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 3 Avalon Close is modelled from its 162 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD25 9TW. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 3 Avalon Close. 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 3 Avalon Close was lodged in October 2025 at band B and is valid until October 2035. 4 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 3 Avalon Close. 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 9TW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Avalon Close is in council tax band F. 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.
