About 9 Merton Road
9 Merton Road is a semi-detached house in Histon, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB24 9JW). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2013. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since October 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £362,000 sits 382.7% above the 1997 sale of £75,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£90/sq ft) was about 61.2% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2015.
