About 6 Abbey Gardens
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
6 Abbey Gardens is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB5 8EH). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 858 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2012) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since November 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.
It hasn't traded since July 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 80 m² it sits well below the postcode median (120 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £474,000 is 43.6% above the 2010 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£385/sq ft) was about 37.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 6 Abbey Gardens is modelled from its 80 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB5 8EH. 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 6 Abbey Gardens. 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 6 Abbey Gardens was lodged in February 2012 at band B and expired in February 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. None is matched to 6 Abbey Gardens. 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 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB5 8EH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 6 Abbey Gardens is in council tax band D. 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.
