About 55b

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

55b is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Maple Cross, Rickmansworth, Rickmansworth (WD3 9TE). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2022) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £357,000 sits 66% above the 2007 sale of £215,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£370/sq ft) was about 22.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 54 m² it's 19.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (67 m² median across 21 EPCs).
