About 37 Holbrook Road
37 Holbrook Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 7SX). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
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 £508,000 sits 408% above the 1998 sale of £100,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£118/sq ft) was about 64% below the postcode norm. At 79 m² it sits well below the postcode median (119 m² across 32 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.
