Overview

About 24 Park Parade

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

24 Park Parade is a five-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB5 8AL). It has a recorded floor area of 168 m² (around 1808 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £1,092,000 sits 61.8% above the 2009 sale of £675,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£373/sq ft) was about 25.4% below the postcode norm. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.

Valuation method in detail

How the estimate is made: The estimate for 24 Park Parade is modelled from its 168 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB5 8AL. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 24 Park Parade. 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 24 Park Parade was lodged in October 2014 at band D and expired in October 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records: Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 24 Park Parade. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 26 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from CB5 8AL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band: 24 Park Parade is in council tax band G. 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.
