About 93 Akeman Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
93 Akeman Street is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Cambridge (CB4 3HE). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2017) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £505,000 sits 140.5% above the 2009 sale of £210,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£189/sq ft) was about 15.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 103 m² it's 15.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (89 m² median across 33 EPCs).
