Overview

About 56 Perne Road

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

56 Perne Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 3RT). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2018) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.

Held since June 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2003–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £563,000 sits 101.1% above the 2008 sale of £280,000.
