About 17 Fairview Grove

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

17 Fairview Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Swaffham Prior, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB25 0LB). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 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 July 2012. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 118 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2012–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 23.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £352,000 is 28% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£217/sq ft) was about 91.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
