About 26 Herbert Street
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.
Across 1999–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £615,000 sits 53.8% above the 2011 sale of £400,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£453/sq ft) was about 74.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 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. Last sold in November 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years. At 82 m² it's 18.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (101 m² median across 26 EPCs).
