About 5 Buchanan Court
5 Buchanan Court is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Borehamwood (WD6 5RB). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 747 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since January 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. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £374,000 sits 70% above the 2007 sale of £219,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£294/sq ft) was about 16.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
