About 2 Rathmore Close

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

2 Rathmore Close is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 7AF). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2020) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 4 certificates since June 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
