12 Crabtrees, Saffron Walden, CB11 3BH
About 12 Crabtrees
12 Crabtrees is a four-bedroom detached house in Saffron Walden (CB11 3BH). It has a recorded floor area of 151 m² (around 1625 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88). The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 151 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 37 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2007–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -13.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £587,000 sits 95.7% above the 2009 sale of £300,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£185/sq ft) was about 40.7% below the postcode norm.
