There are too few years of sales in Plantation Close, Watford to plot a trend line. The figures below are drawn from the whole record rather than a yearly series.

Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Plantation Close, Watford is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.

23 of the sales on record are leasehold and 0 freehold — 100.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Harrow, 44.1% of 105,267 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 3.2% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Harrow at £1,766 a month as of Jun 2026 — £1,385 for a one-bedroom home and £2,050 for three bedrooms.

Against the median sale of £277,450 here, that rent is a gross yield of 7.64% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.

Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of WD23, 96 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 45 violent, 6 burglary, 8 vehicle-related and 12 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.7 times quieter.

Against the 261,203 residents the 2021 census counted in Harrow, that is 0.37 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.

A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

The 2021 census counted 261,203 residents in Harrow across 89,642 households. 59.9% of those households own their home and 39.9% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

13 state and independent schools have a WD23 postcode: 10 primary, 3 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Plantation Close, Watford sits above that national figure — +76.2%.

Within Watford the street ranks 275 of 939 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £204,950 (+35.4%).

No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.

The full range on record runs from £269,450 to £284,950. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.

Plantation Close, Watford sits in Harrow, in the East of England.

The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Harrow at 14.0 times median local earnings of £39,192 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.
