Overview

About 6 City Road

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

6 City Road is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 1DP). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 498 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. At 46 m² this is the 5th smallest of 38 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 36–152 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 38 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in December 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £230,000 sits 58.6% above the 2007 sale of £145,000. At 46 m² it sits well below the postcode median (78 m² across 37 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 6 City Road is modelled from its 46 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CB1 1DP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 6 City Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 6 City Road was lodged in February 2009 at band D and expired in February 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 6 City Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 27 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB1 1DP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
6 City Road is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
