About 5 Buttercup Road
5 Buttercup Road is a semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB4 2GX). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89). The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in December 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 102 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £416,000 sits 79.2% above the 2007 sale of £232,200. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£211/sq ft) was about 31.1% below the postcode norm.
