About 3e
3e is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Saffron Walden (CB11 4DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 377 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. At 35 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (35–172 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 34 units on file. The latest certificate (August 2018) shows a C (score 70).
Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 35 m² it sits well below the postcode median (65 m² across 33 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £185,000 is 45.7% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£337/sq ft) was about 50.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
