Overview

About 1 Cavendish Road

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

1 Cavendish Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 3AE). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
