About 7 Arbury Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
7 Arbury Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB4 2JB). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 106 m² it's 16.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (91 m² median across 25 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£504/sq ft) was about 87.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: October 2022 at £575,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2023.

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 7 Arbury Road is modelled from its 106 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CB4 2JB. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 7 Arbury 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 7 Arbury Road was lodged in July 2012 at band E and expired in July 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 7 Arbury 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 23 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from CB4 2JB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 7 Arbury Road is in council tax band D. 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.
