Overview

About 8 Albert Street

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

8 Albert Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB4 3BE). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 84 m² the property is well over the postcode median (62 m² across 29 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £600,000 sits 81.8% above the 2006 sale of £330,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£365/sq ft) was about 16.2% below the postcode norm.
