The estimate for 15a is modelled from its 61 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB1 9EN. 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.

About 15a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 9EN). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 656 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. At 61 m² this is the 5th smallest of 43 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–106 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 61 m² it's 17.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (74 m² median across 42 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £265,000 is 15.2% above the 2018 sale price.

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 15a is modelled from its 61 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB1 9EN. 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 15a. 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 15a was lodged in January 2009 at band E and expired in January 2019, 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. None is matched to 15a. 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 15 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from CB1 9EN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 15a is in council tax band B. 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.
