Overview

About 13 Barnes Close

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

13 Barnes Close is a semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB5 8RR). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £395,000 sits 104.7% above the 2013 sale of £193,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£256/sq ft) was about 35.7% below the postcode norm.

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 13 Barnes Close is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB5 8RR. 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 13 Barnes 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 13 Barnes Close was lodged in October 2012 at band D and expired in October 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 13 Barnes 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 23 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB5 8RR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
13 Barnes Close is in council tax band C. 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.
