Overview

About 2 Cockburn Street

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

2 Cockburn Street is a detached house in Cambridge (CB1 3NB). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. At 62 m² this is the 15th smallest of 39 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 34–125 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Most recent transfer was February 2025 at £790,000 — fresh data. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works, solar panel installation and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,184/sq ft) was about 315% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2 Cockburn Street is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB1 3NB. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 2 Cockburn 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 2 Cockburn Street was lodged in October 2014 at band E and expired in October 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 2 Cockburn 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 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB1 3NB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Cockburn 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.
