Overview

About 8 Coldhams Grove

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

8 Coldhams Grove is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 3HW). It has a recorded floor area of 240 m² (around 2583 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2020) shows a C (score 74). The home occupies a corner plot.

It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.

On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 37.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £674,000 sits 186.8% above the 2007 sale of £235,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£91/sq ft) was about 57.2% below the postcode norm. 6 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, HMO conversion, a porch and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Coldhams Grove is modelled from its 240 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CB1 3HW. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 8 Coldhams Grove. 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 8 Coldhams Grove was lodged in February 2020 at band C and is valid until February 2030. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 6 applications are matched to 8 Coldhams Grove. 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 27 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB1 3HW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Coldhams Grove is in council tax band D. 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.
