Overview

About 26 Herbert Street

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

26 Herbert Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB4 1AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a loft. Period features are noted in the property record.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, a conservatory and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1999–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £598,000 is 49.5% above the 2011 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£453/sq ft) was about 69.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in November 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 26 Herbert Street is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CB4 1AQ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 26 Herbert Street. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 26 Herbert Street was lodged in May 2016 at band D and expired in May 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 26 Herbert Street. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 23 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB4 1AQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
26 Herbert Street is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
