About 12 Sunnyside
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
12 Sunnyside is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB5 8SG). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £455,000 sits 152.8% above the 2012 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£145/sq ft) was about 42.5% below the postcode norm. 14 years since the last transfer (June 2012).

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 12 Sunnyside is modelled from its 115 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB5 8SG. 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 12 Sunnyside. 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 12 Sunnyside was lodged in June 2016 at band D and expired in June 2026, 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 12 Sunnyside. 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 21 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB5 8SG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 12 Sunnyside 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.
