Overview

About 88 Mill Road

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

88 Mill Road is a property in Cambridge (CB1 2BD). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Today's modelled estimate of £176,000 is 57% below the 2015 sale of £409,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. At 38 m² it's 18.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (47 m² median across 8 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused.
