Overview

About 1 Maltings Close

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

1 Maltings Close is a detached house in Cambridge (CB5 8EB). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band B. At 46 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (46–88 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (78 versus a best of 86). The latest certificate (March 2021) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (March 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.

Held since June 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 £210,000 sits 75% above the 2009 sale of £120,000. At 46 m² it's 26.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (63 m² median across 16 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).

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 1 Maltings Close is modelled from its 46 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB5 8EB. 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 1 Maltings Close. 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 1 Maltings Close was lodged in March 2021 at band C and is valid until March 2031. 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 1 Maltings Close. 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 8EB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Maltings Close is in council tax band B. 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.
