How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Boot Lane is modelled from its 89 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB22 7RA. 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.

About 5 Boot Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Boot Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Barrington, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 7RA). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since January 2001, 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. Today's modelled estimate of £433,000 sits 477.3% above the 2001 sale of £75,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£78/sq ft) was about 77.7% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 89 m² it's 21.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (114 m² median across 4 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs).

Start your researchHow 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 5 Boot Lane is modelled from its 89 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB22 7RA. 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 Boot Lane. 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 Boot Lane was lodged in May 2012 at band D and expired in May 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. 2 applications are matched to 5 Boot Lane. 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 3 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB22 7RA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Boot Lane 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.
