Overview

About 5 The Street

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

5 The Street is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cavenham, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP28 6DA). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (October 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 105), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 87 m² it's 22.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (112 m² median across 31 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). Last changed hands 11 years ago, in November 2015. Today's modelled estimate of £316,000 is 46.6% above the 2015 sale price.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 The Street is modelled from its 87 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP28 6DA. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 5 The Street. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 5 The Street was lodged in January 2016 at band F and expired in January 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5 The Street. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from IP28 6DA. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 The Street is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
