About 1 Emmanuel Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Emmanuel Road is a five-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 1JW). It has a recorded floor area of 176 m² (around 1894 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (November 2009) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 57). The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since April 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 176 m² the property is well over the postcode median (101 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 2 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £1,041,000 sits 210.7% above the 2003 sale of £335,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£177/sq ft) was about 53.8% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and HMO conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 1 Emmanuel Road is modelled from its 176 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB1 1JW. 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 1 Emmanuel Road. 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 1 Emmanuel Road was lodged in November 2009 at band E and expired in November 2019, 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. 5 applications are matched to 1 Emmanuel Road. 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 1JW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Emmanuel Road is in council tax band G. 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.
