Overview

About 18 Maxwell Close

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

18 Maxwell Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Mill End, Rickmansworth, Rickmansworth (WD3 8BP). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2022) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £500,000 sits 88.7% above the 2009 sale of £265,000. At 74 m² it's 15.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (87 m² median across 24 EPCs).
