How the estimate is made
The estimate for 33a is modelled from its 24 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB4 2UE. 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.

About 33a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
33a is a semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB4 2UE). It has a recorded floor area of 24 m² (around 258 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in May 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). Main heating runs on electricity. At 24 m² this is the 5th smallest of 40 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 21–139 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 40 units on file.
Held since March 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £143,000 sits 271.4% above the 1999 sale of £38,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£149/sq ft) was about 31.3% below the postcode norm. At 24 m² it sits well below the postcode median (50 m² across 39 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 33a is modelled from its 24 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB4 2UE. 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 33a. 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 33a was lodged in December 2025 at band D and is valid until December 2035. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 33a. 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 17 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from CB4 2UE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 33a is in council tax band A. 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.
