How the estimate is made
The estimate for 6 Mill Road is modelled from its 25 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CB1 2AD. 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 6 Mill Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
6 Mill Road is a detached house in Cambridge (CB1 2AD). It has a recorded floor area of 25 m² (around 269 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2019) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2019. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 95), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
Across 1996–2019, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £395,000 is 54.1% below the 2019 sale of £860,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£3,196/sq ft) was about 941.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 25 m² it sits well below the postcode median (37 m² across 51 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an annexe approved in 2019. Past consents include an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sale on file: £860,000 in December 2019.

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 6 Mill Road is modelled from its 25 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CB1 2AD. 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 6 Mill 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 6 Mill Road was lodged in May 2019 at band E and is valid until May 2029. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 6 Mill 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 29 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB1 2AD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 6 Mill Road is in council tax band B. 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.
