About 16 Clare Close
16 Clare Close is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Waterbeach, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB25 9PS). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in February 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Last sale on file: £326,000 in July 2022. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.
