About 21 Earl Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
21 Earl Street is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 1JR). It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1733 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record.
At 161 m² the property is well over the postcode median (119 m² across 18 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. Last sale on file: £1,180,000 in November 2022. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. 9 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and solar panel installation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1998–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£681/sq ft) was about 78.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 21 Earl Street is modelled from its 161 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CB1 1JR. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 21 Earl Street. 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 21 Earl Street was lodged in May 2013 at band D and expired in May 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 9 applications are matched to 21 Earl Street. 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 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from CB1 1JR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 21 Earl Street 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.
