Overview

About 31 Mowbray Road

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

31 Mowbray Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 7SR). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in September 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £561,000 sits 111.7% above the 2009 sale of £265,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£297/sq ft) was about 23.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
