About 59b
59b is an end-of-terrace house in Borehamwood (WD6 1AE). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. At 70 m² this is the 13th smallest of 28 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 16–98 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (August 2017) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band.
It hasn't traded since November 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £317,000 sits 352.9% above the 1999 sale of £70,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£93/sq ft) was about 17.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2002. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
