About 8 Aylestone Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Aylestone Road is a mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB4 1HF). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since February 2004, a hold of 22 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £797,000 sits 115.4% above the 2004 sale of £370,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£374/sq ft) was about 32.5% below the postcode norm. At 92 m² it's 16.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (110 m² median across 14 EPCs).

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 8 Aylestone Road is modelled from its 92 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB4 1HF. 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 8 Aylestone 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 8 Aylestone Road was lodged in August 2016 at band D and expired in August 2026, 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. None is matched to 8 Aylestone 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 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB4 1HF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Aylestone Road is in council tax band E. 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.
