Our take · opinion, not advice

Our take on CB6: steady sales, so price from the evidence

CB6 is neither busy nor quiet, at about 38 sales a month, and with no dependable year-on-year figure to hand, recent sold homes are a safer guide than any headline.

If you are selling, CB6 buyers have mostly paid between £210,000 and £525,000, so start from the nearest comparable sale and work outwards; roughly 38 sales a month is enough for buyers to compare, so evidence beats optimism.

Sell house

If you are buying, typical prices in CB6 sit above the UK average, so a price above the norm for the area should be earned by the home itself, not assumed.

On any CB6 home we would check flood risk over the long term, council tax (Band D is £2,485 a year) and what has been built or proposed nearby, and ask a conveyancer to read the title.

The free CB6 OfferCheck pulls sold prices, flood, crime, planning, council tax and schools into one sourced page; the Report says which matter for the home you have in mind.

Across the 12 sampled CB6 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 5 to decile 10, with a median of decile 7 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.

CB6 1GT, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 7 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 CB6 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in CB6: 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.

What it costs to run a home in CB6, band by band

East Cambridgeshire's council tax for 2026-27 set against the CB6 median sold price of £313,750 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the CB6 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.

Questions, answered

The CB6 report: your questions

What is the average house price in CB6?
The typical (median) sold price in CB6 is £313,750, from 250 recorded sales between 30 January 2026 and 20 August 2026. Most sales fell between £210,000 and £525,000. That is above the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index averages). A median is the middle sale, so a few very expensive homes do not pull it up the way they pull up an average.
What does each type of home cost in CB6?
Typical sold prices by type in CB6: detached homes £420,000 (99 sales), semi-detached homes £280,000 (75 sales), terraced homes £272,000 (63 sales), flats £125,000 (7 sales). Use the figure for your type of home rather than the all-homes median.
How much is council tax in CB6?
CB6 is billed by East Cambridgeshire, whose Band D charge for 2026-27 is £2,485 a year. Every band from A to H is listed on this page. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and there is no free per-address dataset for it, so we never guess an individual home's band. Look it up on GOV.UK and read your row.
Which schools are near CB6?
The Department for Education's register lists 8 open schools within 3 km of the CB6 district centre, the nearest being Ely College (last Ofsted grade: Good). These are nearest by straight-line distance from the district centroid. They are not catchment or admission areas, which councils set individually and do not publish centrally.
How up to date are the CB6 sold prices?
Sold prices come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, covering sales up to 28 August 2026. The store is rebuilt monthly. New sales can take several weeks to appear in the official register after completion, so the very latest transactions may not show yet.
Is CB6 a deprived area?
On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, the 12 CB6 postcodes we sampled (the ones with the most recent recorded sales, not a random sample) run from decile 5 to decile 10, with a median of decile 7 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. Deprivation is published for small areas, not postcode districts, so a district like CB6 usually spans several. It is area context, never a judgement on an individual home.
Can I see what an individual address in CB6 sold for?
Yes. This page lists the 24 most recently sold doors of the 247 distinct addresses in the records we hold for CB6, each with its price and date. Addresses come from recorded sales since 1995, so a home that has never been sold does not appear; and we link an address to its own property page only where the match is certain, never by guessing.
Does CB6 cover my exact street?
CB6 is the outward half of the postcode and covers the whole district, so the district-wide figures on this page are medians and ranges, not a valuation of any single property. The address list gives you the door-level picture, and the free checks take a full postcode.
