About 3 Cardinal Avenue

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

3 Cardinal Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Borehamwood (WD6 1EN). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.

Across 2015–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 21.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £513,000 is 10.3% above the 2016 sale price.
