56a, High Street, Over, Cambridge, CB24 5ND
About 56a
56a is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Over, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB24 5ND). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 57), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £458,000 sits 56.8% above the 2007 sale of £292,000. At 116 m² it's 17.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (99 m² median across 23 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs).
