About Colfords
Colfords is a detached house in Debden, Saffron Walden, Saffron Walden (CB11 3LG). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1004 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2009) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 45). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 93 m² it sits well below the postcode median (164 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% 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 £549,000 is 47.6% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£370/sq ft) was about 36.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
