Overview

About 26 Budleigh Close

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

26 Budleigh Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 3UN). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. At 81 m² this is the 13th smallest of 14 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 47–83 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The home occupies a corner plot. The latest certificate (September 2021) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in June 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 81 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £308,000 sits 87.8% above the 2009 sale of £164,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£188/sq ft) was about 27% below the postcode norm.

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 26 Budleigh Close is modelled from its 81 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CB1 3UN. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 26 Budleigh Close. 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 26 Budleigh Close was lodged in September 2021 at band C and is valid until September 2031. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 26 Budleigh Close. 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 24 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB1 3UN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
26 Budleigh Close 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.
