Overview

About Hutchings Lodge

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

Hutchings Lodge is an end-of-terrace house in Rickmansworth (WD3 1EY). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. At 57 m² this is the 27th smallest of 45 units on EPC record in Hutchings Lodge, where floor areas span 42–78 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2012. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1999–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £237,000 is 12.2% below the 2015 sale of £270,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£440/sq ft) was about 29.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). Last sold in April 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
