About 147 Victoria Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
147 Victoria Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB4 3BU). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1265 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from February 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 118 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £643,000 sits 394.6% above the 1998 sale of £130,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£103/sq ft) was about 64.3% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2015.

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 147 Victoria Road is modelled from its 118 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB4 3BU. 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 147 Victoria 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 147 Victoria Road was lodged in February 2010 at band D and expired in February 2020, 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. 1 application is matched to 147 Victoria 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 21 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from CB4 3BU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 147 Victoria Road is in council tax band D. 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.
