Overview

About 79 Blinco Grove

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

79 Blinco Grove is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 7TX). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1475 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 137 m² it's 19.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (115 m² median across 23 EPCs). Across 1997–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £999,000 is 21.1% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£559/sq ft) was about 91.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
