Overview

About 26 Spencer Walk

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

26 Spencer Walk is a four-bedroom detached house in Rickmansworth (WD3 4EE). It has a recorded floor area of 277 m² (around 2982 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in January 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £1,746,000 sits 94% above the 2008 sale of £900,000. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2020.
