About 20 Cambanks
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
20 Cambanks is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB4 1PY). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 61 m² this is the 12th 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 across 22 units on file. The latest certificate (September 2018) shows a C (score 70).
It hasn't traded since August 1998, a hold of 28 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 £287,000 sits 334.8% above the 1998 sale of £66,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£101/sq ft) was about 54.6% below the postcode norm.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 20 Cambanks is modelled from its 61 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 20 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 20 Cambanks was lodged in September 2018 at band C and is valid until September 2028. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 20 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
- 20 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.
