About 1 Ashleys
1 Ashleys is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Rickmansworth (WD3 8JU). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2012. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 113 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Sold November 2020 for £495,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1998–2020, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.7% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£407/sq ft) was about 23% below the postcode norm.
