Overview

About 12 New School Road

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

12 New School Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Histon, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB24 9LL). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was G, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 73 m² it's 29.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (104 m² median across 11 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £364,000 sits 108% above the 2009 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£223/sq ft) was about 30.7% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
