About 63 West Road

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

63 West Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Saffron Walden (CB11 3DX). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 859 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2009) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve.

Today's modelled estimate of £444,000 sits 52.1% above the 2010 sale of £292,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£340/sq ft) was about 27.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 6 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 80 m² it's 27.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (110 m² median across 15 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
