Overview

About 28 South Road

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

28 South Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Saffron Walden (CB11 3DN). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1496 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 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. At 139 m² it's 16.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (167 m² median across 13 EPCs). Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £678,000 is 35.6% above the 2007 sale price.
