About 103 Blinco Grove
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
103 Blinco Grove is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 7TX). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1201 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 47). The latest certificate is from April 2009, 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 £1,030,000 sits 87.3% above the 2009 sale of £550,000.

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 103 Blinco Grove is modelled from its 112 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB1 7TX. 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 103 Blinco Grove. 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 103 Blinco Grove was lodged in April 2009 at band F and expired in April 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 103 Blinco Grove. 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 25 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from CB1 7TX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 103 Blinco Grove is in council tax band F. 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.
