Overview

About 12 Fitzroy Lane

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

12 Fitzroy Lane is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 1HE). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. At 39 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (39–133 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (April 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (78 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£655/sq ft) was about 278.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £275,000 in November 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
