Overview

About 27 Albert Street

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

27 Albert Street is a mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB4 3BE). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Last sale on file: £505,000 in January 2022. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). Across 2005–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.5% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£809/sq ft) was about 99.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
