Overview

About 34 City Road

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

34 City Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 1DP). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 110 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 36 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Last sale on file: £725,000 in March 2021. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1999–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.1% per year.
