About 8 Maners Way
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Maners Way is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 8SL). It has a recorded floor area of 19 m² (around 205 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band F. At 19 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (19–187 m²). The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 20 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. Today's modelled estimate of £743,000 sits 88.1% above the 2007 sale of £395,000. At 19 m² it sits well below the postcode median (165 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 8 Maners Way is modelled from its 19 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB1 8SL. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 8 Maners Way. 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 8 Maners Way was lodged in February 2014 at band D and expired in February 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to 8 Maners Way. 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 21 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from CB1 8SL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Maners Way 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.
