About 10 Essex Road
10 Essex Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Borehamwood (WD6 1BP). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2020) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since July 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 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £463,000 sits 101.3% above the 2007 sale of £230,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£270/sq ft) was about 16.2% below the postcode norm.
