About 5 Blossom Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Blossom Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 2NQ). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 740 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2010) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from June 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in December 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £567,000 sits 63.2% above the 2007 sale of £347,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£469/sq ft) was about 64.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 5 Blossom Street is modelled from its 69 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CB1 2NQ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 5 Blossom Street. 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 Blossom Street was lodged in June 2010 at band D and expired in June 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5 Blossom Street. 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 2NQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Blossom Street is in council tax band C. 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.
