Overview

About 237 Chesterton Road

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

237 Chesterton Road is a six-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB4 1AS). It has a recorded floor area of 158 m² (around 1704 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2010) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The latest certificate is from July 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 158 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 2005–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at -1.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,250,000 sits 65.3% above the 2011 sale of £756,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£444/sq ft) was about 23% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2004. Past consents include subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in October 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 237 Chesterton Road is modelled from its 158 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CB4 1AS. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 237 Chesterton Road. 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 237 Chesterton Road was lodged in July 2010 at band E and expired in July 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 237 Chesterton Road. 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 25 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB4 1AS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
237 Chesterton Road is in council tax band G. 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.
