About 3 Saffron Rise

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

3 Saffron Rise is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Eaton Bray, Dunstable, Dunstable (LU6 2AY). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2019) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £238,000 sits 86.7% above the 2009 sale of £127,500. At 49 m² it's 23.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (64 m² median across 9 EPCs).
