Overview

About 81 Blinco Grove

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

81 Blinco Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 7TX). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (May 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 81 Blinco Grove is modelled from its 118 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales 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. 3 sales are recorded for 81 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 81 Blinco Grove was lodged in April 2016 at band F and expired in April 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 81 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
81 Blinco Grove is in council tax band E. 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.
