About 48a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
48a is an end-of-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 1EL). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2024) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2018 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). At 53 m² this is the 7th smallest of 58 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 21–177 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 58 units on file.
Held since May 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £560,000 sits 135.3% above the 1999 sale of £238,000. At 53 m² it's 18.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (65 m² median across 57 EPCs).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 48a is modelled from its 53 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB1 1EL. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 48a. 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 48a was lodged in July 2024 at band D and is valid until July 2034. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 48a. 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 1EL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 48a is in council tax band F. 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.
