Overview

About 9 Alms Hill

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

9 Alms Hill is a four-bedroom detached house in Bourn, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB23 2SH). It has a recorded floor area of 189 m² (around 2034 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 189 m² the property is well over the postcode median (121 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £649,000 sits 62.3% above the 2012 sale of £400,000. On the market in September 2012 and unlisted since — roughly 14 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2009.
