How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 Donegal is modelled from its 43 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CB1 1QQ. 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.

About 3 Donegal
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Donegal is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 1QQ). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 43 m² this is the 5th smallest of 14 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–54 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a C (score 74). The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2001–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £225,000 is 36.4% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£356/sq ft) was about 26.5% below the postcode norm. Last sold in November 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 3 Donegal is modelled from its 43 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CB1 1QQ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 3 Donegal. 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 3 Donegal was lodged in July 2013 at band C and expired in July 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. None is matched to 3 Donegal. 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 28 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB1 1QQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Donegal is in council tax band A. 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.
