Overview

About 1 Chalmers Road

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

1 Chalmers Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Cambridge (CB1 3SZ). It has a recorded floor area of 184 m² (around 1977 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in June 2009. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 184 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £825,000 sits 75.5% above the 2009 sale of £470,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£238/sq ft) was about 28.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
