Overview

About 26 Buttercup Road

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

26 Buttercup Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Cambridge (CB4 2GX). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. At 70 m² this is the 10th smallest of 17 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 53–119 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £264,000 is 39.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£251/sq ft) was about 18.2% below the postcode norm.
