Overview

About 21 St Philips Road

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

21 St Philips Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Cambridge (CB1 3AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 147 m² (around 1582 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows an F (score 21), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since June 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 147 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1999–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £918,000 is 22.4% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£474/sq ft) was about 76.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in January 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2017.
