Overview

About 7 Horwood Close

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

7 Horwood Close is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rickmansworth (WD3 8RS). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1432 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87). The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

Across 1997–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £536,000 sits 52.1% above the 2012 sale of £352,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£246/sq ft) was about 38.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 133 m² it's 19.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (112 m² median across 7 EPCs). Last changed hands 14 years ago, in November 2012. One planning record on file: a garage conversion refused in 2002.
