About 5 Bateson Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Bateson Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB4 3HF). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Across 2007–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £509,000 sits 72.5% above the 2013 sale of £295,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Last sold in May 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2000.

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 5 Bateson Road is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CB4 3HF. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 5 Bateson 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 5 Bateson Road was lodged in February 2013 at band E and expired in February 2023, 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 5 Bateson 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 3HF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Bateson Road is in council tax band C. 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.
