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

5 Linton Close is a semi-detached house in Saffron Walden (CB11 3BU). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a C (score 74). The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
