Overview

About 14 Ditton Lane

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

14 Ditton Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB5 8SP). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
