About 43 West Road
43 West Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Saffron Walden (CB11 3DX). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1561 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2019) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Untraded for 26 years, with the last transfer in August 2000. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 145 m² the property is well over the postcode median (106 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £674,000 sits 274.5% above the 2000 sale of £179,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£115/sq ft) was about 59.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
