Overview

About 17 Cambanks

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

17 Cambanks is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB4 1PY). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. At 54 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 22 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 51–65 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (45 versus a best of 81). The latest certificate (February 2019) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor.

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 17 Cambanks is modelled from its 54 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB4 1PY. 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 17 Cambanks. 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 17 Cambanks was lodged in February 2019 at band E and is valid until February 2029. 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 17 Cambanks. 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 24 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB4 1PY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
17 Cambanks is in council tax band C. 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.
