About 6 Melbourne Place
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
6 Melbourne Place is a mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 1EQ). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2023) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £909,000 is 49% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£480/sq ft) was about 19.3% below the postcode norm.

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 6 Melbourne Place is modelled from its 118 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CB1 1EQ. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 6 Melbourne Place. 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 Melbourne Place was lodged in February 2023 at band E and is valid until February 2033. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 6 Melbourne Place. 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 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB1 1EQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 6 Melbourne Place is in council tax band E. 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.
