Overview

About 17 North Terrace

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

17 North Terrace is an end-of-terrace house in Cambridge (CB5 8DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 388 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (July 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). At 36 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 31–175 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 19 units on file.

It hasn't traded since January 1996, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £520,000 sits 232.8% above the 1996 sale of £156,250. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£403/sq ft) was about 23.9% below the postcode norm. At 36 m² it sits well below the postcode median (120 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: partial demolition approved in 2007. Past consents include partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 17 North Terrace is modelled from its 36 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB5 8DJ. 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 17 North Terrace. 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 17 North Terrace was lodged in September 2020 at band D and is valid until September 2030. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 17 North Terrace. 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 27 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB5 8DJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
17 North Terrace is in council tax band F. 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.
