Overview

About 7a

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

7a is a detached house in Sawston, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 3DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2018) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80).

It hasn't traded since July 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £489,000 sits 200.9% above the 2000 sale of £162,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£148/sq ft) was about 41.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
