Overview

About 37a

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

37a is an end-of-terrace house in Soham, Ely, Ely (CB7 5HA). It has a recorded floor area of 173 m² (around 1862 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in January 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 173 m² the property is well over the postcode median (56 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £426,000 sits 326% above the 2021 sale of £100,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£54/sq ft) was about 83% below the postcode norm. Last sale on file: £100,000 in September 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2007.
