Overview

About 37 Holbrook Road

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

37 Holbrook Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 7SX). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in May 2016 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since July 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £523,000 sits 423% above the 1998 sale of £100,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£115/sq ft) was about 63% below the postcode norm. At 81 m² it sits well below the postcode median (119 m² across 34 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
