About 1 Hills Avenue
1 Hills Avenue is a semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 7UY). It has a recorded floor area of 31 m² (around 334 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 1999, a hold of 27 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 £2,223,000 sits 247.3% above the 1999 sale of £640,000.
