Overview

About 17 Ventress Farm Court

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

17 Ventress Farm Court is a two-bedroom detached house in Cambridge (CB1 8HD). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 73 m² this is the 24th smallest of 64 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 55–230 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 64 units on file.

It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £267,000 sits 66.9% above the 2007 sale of £160,000.
