Overview

About 5 Burgess Road

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

5 Burgess Road is a detached house in Waterbeach, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB25 9ND). It has a recorded floor area of 15 m² (around 157 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2011) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since July 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The latest certificate is from December 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 15 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 38 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 14–205 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 38 units on file.

Today's modelled estimate of £177,000 is 58.4% below the 2017 sale of £425,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£2,714/sq ft) was about 843.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 15 m² it sits well below the postcode median (83 m² across 37 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 9 years since the last transfer (October 2017).
