Overview

About 38a

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

38a is a detached house in Histon, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB24 9ES). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £500,000 sits 58.5% above the 2012 sale of £315,500. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in August 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
