Overview

About 9 Otter Close

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

9 Otter Close is a mid-terrace house in Bar Hill, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB23 8EA). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 £268,000 sits 425.5% above the 1995 sale of £51,000.
