About 81 Lower Road

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

81 Lower Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Chorleywood, Rickmansworth, Rickmansworth (WD3 5LA). It has a recorded floor area of 135 m² (around 1453 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £1,002,000 is 31.8% above the 2013 sale price.
