Overview

About 5 Beaconsfield House

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

5 Beaconsfield House is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 2LP). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. At 38 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–95 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a C (score 72). The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since October 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since May 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £228,000 sits 375% above the 1996 sale of £48,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£117/sq ft) was about 57.7% below the postcode norm. At 38 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).

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 5 Beaconsfield House is modelled from its 38 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB1 2LP. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 5 Beaconsfield House. 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 5 Beaconsfield House was lodged in March 2026 at band C and is valid until March 2036. 3 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 5 Beaconsfield House. 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 28 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB1 2LP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Beaconsfield House 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.
