3a, Napier Street, Cambridge, CB1 1HR
About 3a
3a is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 1HR). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 123 m² the property is well over the postcode median (65 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 4 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 2 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £713,000 sits 126.3% above the 2014 sale of £315,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£238/sq ft) was about 30.2% below the postcode norm. Last sold in February 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
