Overview

About 2 Rock Road

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

2 Rock Road is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 7UF). It has a recorded floor area of 171 m² (around 1841 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in July 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 171 m² the property is well over the postcode median (131 m² across 29 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 2000–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £907,000 is 15.5% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£426/sq ft) was about 33.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in January 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2010.

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 2 Rock Road is modelled from its 171 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CB1 7UF. 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 2 Rock Road. 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 2 Rock Road was lodged in July 2014 at band E and expired in July 2024, 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 2 Rock Road. 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 26 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from CB1 7UF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Rock Road 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.
