Overview

About 8 Ailsa Court

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

8 Ailsa Court is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB4 1AB). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (June 2025) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in June 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good.

Held since February 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1998–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £274,000 sits 61.2% above the 2008 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£247/sq ft) was about 59.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
