About 3 Clare Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Clare Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB4 3BY). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good, lighting went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £806,000 is 46.5% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£496/sq ft) was about 92.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 12 years ago, in September 2014.

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 3 Clare Street is modelled from its 103 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB4 3BY. 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 3 Clare Street. 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 3 Clare Street was lodged in June 2014 at band D and expired in June 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 3 Clare Street. 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 3BY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Clare Street is in council tax band E. 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.
