Overview

About 2 Beaconsfield House

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

2 Beaconsfield House is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 2LP). It has a recorded floor area of 32 m² (around 344 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. At 32 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (32–95 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (August 2019) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, main heating went from Poor to Average. Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since June 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 32 m² it sits well below the postcode median (67 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 84% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £230,000 is 33.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£499/sq ft) was about 90.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
