About 25 Pretoria Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
25 Pretoria Road is a semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB4 1HD). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. At 68 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (68–190 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (July 2019) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (August 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61).
It hasn't traded since March 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £400,000 sits 170.3% above the 2000 sale of £148,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£202/sq ft) was about 54.3% below the postcode norm. At 68 m² it sits well below the postcode median (153 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2025.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 25 Pretoria Road is modelled from its 68 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB4 1HD. 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 25 Pretoria 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 25 Pretoria Road was lodged in July 2019 at band E and is valid until July 2029. 3 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 25 Pretoria 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 26 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB4 1HD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 25 Pretoria Road 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.
