About The Arc
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Arc is a property in Cherry Hinton, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB1 9HY). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 681 sq ft) and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2009) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 63 m² this is the 9th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in The Arc, where floor areas span 52–68 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £333,000 is 33.2% above the 2009 sale price.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 The Arc is modelled from its 63 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB1 9HY. 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 The Arc. 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 The Arc was lodged in August 2009 at band B and expired in August 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 The Arc. 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 18 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB1 9HY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- The Arc is in council tax band D. 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.
