Overview

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 £373,000 sits 152% above the 2000 sale of £148,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£202/sq ft) was about 49.5% 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.
