Overview

About 24 Portugal Place

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

24 Portugal Place is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Cambridge (CB5 8AF). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. At 62 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 46–268 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (July 2020) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 62 m² it sits well below the postcode median (127 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £783,000 is 37.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£854/sq ft) was about 163.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
