Overview

About 70a

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

70a is a five-bedroom detached house in Caxton, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB23 3PQ). It has a recorded floor area of 223 m² (around 2400 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe.

At 223 m² the property is well over the postcode median (111 m² across 41 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1999–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £874,000 is 23.1% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£296/sq ft) was about 60.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused.
