About 16 Ely Gardens
16 Ely Gardens is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Borehamwood (WD6 2PT). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2023) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2012. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since April 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. At 89 m² the property is well over the postcode median (53 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £491,000 sits 85.3% above the 2007 sale of £265,000.
