1a, Clay Street, Soham, Ely, CB7 5HJ
About 1a
1a is a four-bedroom detached house in Soham, Ely, Ely (CB7 5HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 146 m² (around 1572 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 146 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 37 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £375,000 sits 74.4% above the 2009 sale of £215,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£137/sq ft) was about 25.4% below the postcode norm.
