45a, West Road, Saffron Walden, CB11 3DX
About 45a
45a is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Saffron Walden (CB11 3DX). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Most recent transfer: June 2021 at £515,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 2002–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.5% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£451/sq ft) was about 69.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
