About 28a
28a is a two-bedroom detached house in Soham, Ely, Ely (CB7 5HE). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 519 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 48 m² this is the 14th smallest of 29 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 17–116 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £118,000 sits 490% above the 1998 sale of £20,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£39/sq ft) was about 68.9% below the postcode norm.
