Overview

About 8 Maids Causeway

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

8 Maids Causeway is a four-bedroom detached house in Cambridge (CB5 8DA). It has a recorded floor area of 212 m² (around 2282 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2012) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from August 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony and notable views. Period features are noted in the property record.

Across 2009–2019, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,813,000 is 15.7% below the 2019 sale of £2,150,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£942/sq ft) was about 93.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 11 planning records sit against the property, 9 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, a garage conversion, a conservatory and a basement excavation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs). 4 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Most recent transfer: September 2019 at £2,150,000.

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 8 Maids Causeway is modelled from its 212 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CB5 8DA. 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 8 Maids Causeway. 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 8 Maids Causeway was lodged in August 2012 at band D and expired in August 2022, 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. 11 applications are matched to 8 Maids Causeway. 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 25 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB5 8DA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Maids Causeway 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.
