Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on CB21: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead
At around 18 sales a month, CB21 ticks along steadily, which suits pricing from the latest sold homes better than from any single average or trend.
When selling here, £456,750 is only the middle of a market that runs from £237,700 to £875,500, so lean on the nearest like-for-like sale rather than the middle figure; buyers can compare homes at this pace but are not spoilt for choice.
Sell houseFor buyers, on price, CB21 is well above the UK average, so compare any asking price with sold homes of the same type before you commit.
Worth checking before you commit: long-term flood risk, council tax (Band D is £2,467 a year) and planning applications nearby; your conveyancer should look at the title too.
With averages this broad, the free CB21 OfferCheck adds flood, crime, planning and council tax from the official sources.

In plain English
What the Cambridge (CB21) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £617,500 against £300,000 for terraced homes: about 2.1 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £237,700 and £875,500, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (97%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
- This is an active district: about 18 recorded sales a month.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled CB21 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 7 to decile 10, with a median of decile 8 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
CB21 6AG, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 8 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so CB21 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in CB21: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

Cost to run
Two sources, one table
What it costs to run a home in CB21, band by band
Cambridge's council tax for 2026-27 set against the CB21 median sold price of £456,750 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearCambridge | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £456,750 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,645 | £137 | 0.36% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,919 | £160 | 0.42% |
| C | £52,001–£68,000 | £2,193 | £183 | 0.48% |
| D | £68,001–£88,000 | £2,467 | £206 | 0.54% |
| E | £88,001–£120,000 | £3,015 | £251 | 0.66% |
| F | £120,001–£160,000 | £3,563 | £297 | 0.78% |

| H | over £320,000 | £4,934 | £411 | 1.08% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the CB21 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
