About 1 Richmond Terrace

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

1 Richmond Terrace is an end-of-terrace house in Cambridge (CB5 8AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2024) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2016. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump.

It hasn't traded since July 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area.
