Overview

About 38 Hawthorn Way

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

38 Hawthorn Way is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Cambridge (CB4 1AX). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2022) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83).

Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 120 m² the property is well over the postcode median (88 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £576,000 sits 130.9% above the 2009 sale of £249,500. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, a porch and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 38 Hawthorn Way is modelled from its 120 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB4 1AX. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 38 Hawthorn Way. 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 38 Hawthorn Way was lodged in April 2022 at band C and is valid until April 2032. 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 38 Hawthorn Way. 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 24 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB4 1AX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
38 Hawthorn Way is in council tax band C. 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.
