Overview

About 9 Pretoria Road

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

9 Pretoria Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB4 1HD). It has a recorded floor area of 153 m² (around 1647 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2012) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2011–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 46.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,066,000 is 33.3% above the 2012 sale price.
