Overview

About 8 Comfrey Court

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

8 Comfrey Court is a three-bedroom detached house in Cambridge (CB1 9YJ). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 82 m² it's 16.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (98 m² median across 8 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 2000–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £505,000 is 28.7% above the 2016 sale price.
