Overview

About 12 Chichester Way

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

12 Chichester Way is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD25 9TY). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2025) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 114 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2007–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £490,000 sits 80.1% above the 2012 sale of £272,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£222/sq ft) was about 32.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in November 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.

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 12 Chichester Way is modelled from its 114 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WD25 9TY. 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 12 Chichester Way. 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 12 Chichester Way was lodged in October 2025 at band C and is valid until October 2035. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 12 Chichester 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
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WD25 9TY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
12 Chichester Way is in council tax band D. 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.
