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 £1,327,000 sits 65.9% above the 2012 sale of £800,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£486/sq ft) was about 16.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in September 2012 and unlisted since — roughly 14 years.

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 9 Pretoria Road is modelled from its 153 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales 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. 2 sales are recorded for 9 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 9 Pretoria Road was lodged in August 2012 at band D and expired in August 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 9 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
9 Pretoria Road is in council tax band G. 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.
