3 Ackroyd Road is a semi-detached house in Royston (SG8 7DS). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 882 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £345,000 sits 91.7% above the 2009 sale of £180,000.
