Overview

About 29 Victoria Avenue

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

29 Victoria Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Saffron Walden (CB11 3AD). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since February 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 106 m² it's 26.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (84 m² median across 19 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). Across 2000–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £607,000 is 24.9% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£426/sq ft) was about 45.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 10 years since the last transfer (October 2016).
