Overview

About 68 Cambridge Road

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

68 Cambridge Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Great Shelford, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 5JS). It has a recorded floor area of 241 m² (around 2594 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in October 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 241 m² the property is well over the postcode median (117 m² across 28 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £852,000 sits 127.2% above the 2011 sale of £375,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£145/sq ft) was about 53.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in September 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 68 Cambridge Road is modelled from its 241 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB22 5JS. 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 68 Cambridge 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 68 Cambridge Road was lodged in October 2012 at band C and expired in October 2022, 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 68 Cambridge 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 9 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from CB22 5JS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
68 Cambridge Road is in council tax band E. 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.
