3a, Arundel Drive, Borehamwood, WD6 2LE
About 3a
3a is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Borehamwood (WD6 2LE). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since February 1997, a hold of 29 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 £462,000 sits 402.2% above the 1997 sale of £92,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£103/sq ft) was about 69.4% below the postcode norm.
