About 48 Back Hill
48 Back Hill is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ely (CB7 4BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 162 m² (around 1744 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in March 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 162 m² the property is well over the postcode median (102 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Sold August 2018 for £535,000. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2005–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £609,000 is 13.8% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£307/sq ft) was about 67.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
