About 98 Victoria Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
98 Victoria Road is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Cambridge (CB4 3DU). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1279 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2011) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). The latest certificate is from September 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
At 119 m² the property is well over the postcode median (64 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). 4 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1995–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £858,000 is 18.3% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£567/sq ft) was about 91.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold September 2021 for £725,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 98 Victoria Road is modelled from its 119 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CB4 3DU. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 98 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 98 Victoria Road was lodged in September 2011 at band E and expired in September 2021, 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. 4 applications are matched to 98 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 23 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB4 3DU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 98 Victoria Road 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.
