Overview

About 6 Swallow Gardens

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

6 Swallow Gardens is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Chesterton, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB4 1FU). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2012 onwards and council tax band D. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (December 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). 11 years since the last transfer (March 2015). Today's modelled estimate of £574,000 is 35.4% above the 2015 sale price.

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 6 Swallow Gardens is modelled from its 90 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB4 1FU. 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 6 Swallow Gardens. 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 6 Swallow Gardens was lodged in May 2026 at band C and is valid until May 2036. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 6 Swallow Gardens. 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 1FU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
6 Swallow Gardens 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.
