About 159 Victoria Road

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

159 Victoria Road is a mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB4 3BU). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1081 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 55). The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1998–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £553,000 sits 58.9% above the 2012 sale of £348,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£322/sq ft) was about 17.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 100 m² it's 21% larger than the typical home in the postcode (83 m² median across 17 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs).
