About 59 West Road

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

59 West Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Saffron Walden (CB11 3DX). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility.

At 76 m² it sits well below the postcode median (110 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £415,000 is 27.3% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£399/sq ft) was about 45.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 10 years since the last transfer (July 2016).
