Overview

About 1 Offa Lea

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

1 Offa Lea is a three-bedroom detached house in Newton, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 7PW). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £446,000 sits 102.7% above the 2009 sale of £220,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£217/sq ft) was about 26.3% below the postcode norm. At 94 m² it's 27.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (130 m² median across 9 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 1 Offa Lea is modelled from its 94 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB22 7PW. 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 1 Offa Lea. 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 1 Offa Lea was lodged in April 2014 at band D and expired in April 2024, 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 1 Offa Lea. 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 4 schools and 0 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB22 7PW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Offa Lea 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.
