Overview

About 14 Birch Walk

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

14 Birch Walk is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Borehamwood (WD6 5EB). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2014) 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 August 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 85 m² the property is well over the postcode median (50 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2005–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £438,000 is 12.3% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£426/sq ft) was about 72.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £390,000 in April 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
