Overview

About Flat 5

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Flat 5 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 2AD). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2021) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since December 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 62 m² this is the 5th smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 27–65 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 6 units on file.

At 62 m² the property is well over the postcode median (37 m² across 51 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 2008–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £288,000 is 17.6% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£367/sq ft) was about 21% below the postcode norm. Last sold in June 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
