About 3d

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

3d is a two-bedroom detached house in Saffron Walden (CB11 4DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. At 55 m² this is the 5th smallest of 34 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–172 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 34 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (May 2018) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in September 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2008–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 17% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £210,000 is 32.9% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£267/sq ft) was about 21.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 55 m² it's 15% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (65 m² median across 33 EPCs).
