a) I'd say how much that applies can vary enormously, and that Cambridge is currently very much a seller's market. In Great Shelford just after Christmas I stuck my head in Tucker Gardner and asked about a house that had come on the market over the weekend - but it had already sold! They were asking £300K, and I discovered last week that the actual sale price was £340K!
We got our house for £200K when they were asking £220, but that was in September 2008 just before house prices took a small dip. (Scarily Zoopla currently estimates it at £249K!) Zoopla isn't a bad place to look for ideas of what similar houses in the same street/area are valued at.
