About 5 Falkner Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Falkner Road is a six-bedroom semi-detached house in Sawston, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 3JX). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1311 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2011) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since July 2011. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement.
It hasn't traded since October 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. At 122 m² the property is well over the postcode median (53 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £452,000 sits 226.4% above the 2000 sale of £138,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£106/sq ft) was about 33.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, 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 5 Falkner Road is modelled from its 122 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB22 3JX. 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 5 Falkner Road. 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 5 Falkner Road was lodged in November 2011 at band E and expired in November 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 5 Falkner Road. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 6 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from CB22 3JX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Falkner Road 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.
