About 32 Maids Causeway
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
32 Maids Causeway is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB5 8DD). It has a recorded floor area of 176 m² (around 1894 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since February 2012. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 176 m² the property is well over the postcode median (35 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). 4 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. 12 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a basement excavation and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £1,164,000 is 49.2% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£412/sq ft) was about 48.6% below the postcode norm.

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 32 Maids Causeway is modelled from its 176 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB5 8DD. 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 32 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 32 Maids Causeway was lodged in July 2013 at band E and expired in July 2023, 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. 12 applications are matched to 32 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 26 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB5 8DD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 32 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.
