About 7 Croft Lane

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

7 Croft Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Oakington, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB24 3AA). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since June 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 126 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 13 years ago, in August 2013. Across 2009–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £533,000 is 38.4% above the 2013 sale price.
