About The Agents House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Agents House is a five-bedroom detached house in Fornham St. Genevieve, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP28 6TT). It has a recorded floor area of 303 m² (around 3261 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2012) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.
4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. On the market in June 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years. Today's modelled estimate of £1,290,000 is 25.9% above the 2013 sale price.

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 The Agents House is modelled from its 303 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP28 6TT. 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 The Agents House. 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 The Agents House was lodged in August 2012 at band E and expired in August 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to The Agents House. 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. The 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP28 6TT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- The Agents House is in council tax band G. 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.
