About 8 Elm Street
8 Elm Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 1EJ). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2021) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.
Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in May 1996. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.
