Making The Difference in our local community in 2024
Over the last twelve months we’ve increased our volunteering, donations and support to local charities and organisations that provide shelter and housing services to those most in need. Along with adding 3 new properties to our Rent to Home portfolio, helping first time buyers get onto the property ladder.
Take a look at our video highlighting how we've helped and supported our local community this year.
How the property will transform
We're adding two single storey extensions to increase the size and make it suitable for those with accessibility needs, such as step free access to the property and a downstairs wash room.
We'll also reconfigure the upstairs to make better use of the space. The house will also receive extensive TLC and decorating to make this house a modern and contemporary family home.

Net Zero housing challenge
The government has pledged for the UK to reach net zero emissions by 2050, which means there’s going to be a lot more focus on the homes we own and rent. Net zero is the point at which the number of greenhouse gases being put into the atmosphere is equal to the number that are being taken in.

Property valuation fees
A basic valuation will be carried out to confirm the property is suitable security for the mortgage. This report is for The Cambridge's purpose and is not a survey of the property, i.e. it doesn't include details about the condition of the property.
You may choose to arrange your own survey if you want more information about the property's condition and identify any problems.
The table below provides a breakdown of the standard valuation fee according to the purchase price of the property.
| Purchase price under | Standard valuation fee |
| £100,000 | £220 |
