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 71% of similar EPCs). Across 2008–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £315,000 is 28.6% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£367/sq ft) was about 17.9% below the postcode norm. Last sold in June 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 5 is modelled from its 62 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 Flat 5. 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 Flat 5 was lodged in January 2021 at band E and is valid until January 2031. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Flat 5. 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
Flat 5 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.
