About 9 Cromwell Road

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

9 Cromwell Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 3EB). It has a recorded floor area of 32 m² (around 344 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2024) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in February 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 91). Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Today's modelled estimate of £455,000 is 27.8% below the 2022 sale of £630,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,829/sq ft) was about 470.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 32 m² it sits well below the postcode median (78 m² across 26 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an annexe, an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Sold August 2022 for £630,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
