Overview

About 1a

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

It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 981 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2003–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £427,000 sits 122.4% above the 2014 sale of £192,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£196/sq ft) was about 34.1% below the postcode norm. At 91 m² it's 27.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (126 m² median across 10 EPCs).

Method

How 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 1a is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CB22 5LN. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1a. 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 1a was lodged in September 2010 at band E and expired in September 2020, 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. 1 application is matched to 1a. 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 5 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from CB22 5LN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1a 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.
