About 21 Arden Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
21 Arden Road is a semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB4 2UJ). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 823 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2011) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73).

Held since May 1998 — that's 28 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.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£95/sq ft) was about 63.5% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 21 Arden Road is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB4 2UJ. 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 21 Arden 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 21 Arden Road was lodged in July 2011 at band D and expired in July 2021, 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. 2 applications are matched to 21 Arden 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 17 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from CB4 2UJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 21 Arden Road is in council tax band C. 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.
