About 32 Herbert Street
32 Herbert Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB4 1AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since January 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 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £536,000 sits 53.2% above the 2008 sale of £349,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£342/sq ft) was about 39.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2008.
