Overview

About 42 Royston Road

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

42 Royston Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Harston, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 7NH). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since May 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record.

Untraded for 22 years, with the last transfer in December 2004. Across 1996–2004, sale prices on this property compounded at 11% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £458,000 sits 103.6% above the 2004 sale of £225,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£211/sq ft) was about 22.3% below the postcode norm. At 99 m² it sits well below the postcode median (147 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs).

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 42 Royston Road is modelled from its 99 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CB22 7NH. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 42 Royston 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 42 Royston Road was lodged in April 2016 at band E and expired in April 2026, 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. None is matched to 42 Royston 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 5 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from CB22 7NH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
42 Royston 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.
