About 4 Beales Way
4 Beales Way is a mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB4 2PW). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 837 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £339,000 sits 99.4% above the 2009 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£203/sq ft) was about 37% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2019. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
