Overview

About 6b

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

6b is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 1HA). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 77 m² this is the 6th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 51–127 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 11 units on file. The latest certificate (November 2019) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (September 2009); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79).

Held since July 1997 — that's 29 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 £507,000 sits 340.9% above the 1997 sale of £115,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£139/sq ft) was about 57.7% below the postcode norm.

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 6b is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB1 1HA. 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 6b. 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 6b was lodged in November 2019 at band D and is valid until November 2029. 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 6b. 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 26 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB1 1HA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
6b is in council tax band D. 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.
