16 Byron Road is a semi-detached house in Royston (SG8 7DP). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a C (score 74). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in April 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £355,000 sits 349.4% above the 1999 sale of £79,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£68/sq ft) was about 68.6% below the postcode norm. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2002.
