How Queens Close, Cambridge prices moved
The chart tracks the median Queens Close, Cambridge house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2024. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 3 | £68,500 | £152,102 |
| 2000s | 7 | £177,000 | £322,442 |
| 2010s | 2 | £348,000 | £490,680 |
| 2020s | 2 | £262,500 | £268,207 |
The highest yearly median on record for Queens Close, Cambridge is £475,000 in 2021; the lowest is £63,500 in 1996. Across the full 29-year record the cash median has moved from £63,500 to £262,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £137,746, so the real change over the whole record is +100.5% — about +2.52% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +48.3% in cash against -7.0% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Queens Close, Cambridge values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Queens Close, Cambridge is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 56 | 40.3% | £175,000 | £37,500 – £475,000 |
| Detached | 52 | 37.4% | £319,000 | £125,000 – £685,500 |
| Flat or maisonette | 23 | 16.5% | £99,950 | £19,780 – £190,000 |
| Terraced | 8 | 5.8% | £87,500 | £34,500 – £375,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Queens Close, Cambridge
33 of the sales on record are leasehold and 106 freehold — 23.7% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
The median leasehold sale is £98,500 and the median freehold sale £243,750 — a gap of +147.5%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 33 | 23.7% | £98,500 |
| Freehold | 106 | 76.3% | £243,750 |
| New build | 10 | 7.2% | £199,950 |
| Existing home | 129 | 92.8% | £190,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +5.2%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 1 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Living in Queens Close, Cambridge
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Cambridge, 55.3% of 69,219 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 2.5% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Cambridge at £1,804 a month as of Jun 2026 — £1,255 for a one-bedroom home and £1,905 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £199,950 here, that rent is a gross yield of 10.83% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
No street-level crime was published for CB22 in Jun 2026 by Cambridgeshire. Several forces do not supply street-level data to police.uk, so this is a gap in the source rather than a crime-free month — and printing a zero would say something the data does not.

The neighbourhood around Queens Close, Cambridge
The 2021 census counted 145,674 residents in Cambridge across 52,474 households. 45.7% of those households own their home and 54.1% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

Within Cambridge the street ranks 1950 of 2762 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £240,000 (-16.7%).

Queens Close, Cambridge sits in Cambridge, in the East of England.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Cambridge at 10.8 times median local earnings of £45,762 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Queens Close, Cambridge?
The median price paid in Queens Close, Cambridge across every sale on the register is £199,950. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Queens Close, Cambridge?
139 sales are on record for Queens Close, Cambridge, the most recent completing on 20 May 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Queens Close, Cambridge house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +48.3% between 2008 and 2024. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -7.0%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Queens Close, Cambridge house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £475,000, set in 2021. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Queens Close, Cambridge?
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 20 May 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
