About Flat 2
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 2 is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 7SR). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 398 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2012 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2023) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in January 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. At 37 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 36–62 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (79 versus a best of 81).
At 37 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 33 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£678/sq ft) was about 192.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Flat 2 is modelled from its 37 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB1 7SR. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Flat 2. 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 Flat 2 was lodged in April 2023 at band C and is valid until April 2033. 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 Flat 2. 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 23 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from CB1 7SR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 2 is in council tax band D. 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.
