About 5a

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

5a is a mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 2JB). It has a recorded floor area of 160 m² (around 1722 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2024) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good.

At 160 m² the property is well over the postcode median (27 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
