About 13 Gables Avenue
13 Gables Avenue is a four-bedroom detached house in Borehamwood (WD6 4SP). It has a recorded floor area of 234 m² (around 2519 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.
It hasn't traded since September 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. At 234 m² the property is well over the postcode median (119 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £964,000 sits 263.8% above the 1997 sale of £265,000.

Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
