Overview

About Moat Lodge

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

Moat Lodge is a one-bedroom detached house in Soham, Ely, Ely (CB7 5HP). It has a recorded floor area of 192 m² (around 2067 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in October 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 192 m² the property is well over the postcode median (123 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 13 years ago, in December 2012. Today's modelled estimate of £762,000 is 20% above the 2012 sale price.
