How the estimate is made

The estimate for 2 Rectory Cottages is modelled from its 98 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP29 4AG. 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.

Overview

About 2 Rectory Cottages

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

2 Rectory Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Brockley, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 4AG). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 96), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in February 2017, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Across 2016–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £406,000 is 26.9% above the 2017 sale price.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2 Rectory Cottages is modelled from its 98 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP29 4AG. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 2 Rectory Cottages. 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 2 Rectory Cottages was lodged in April 2016 at band D and expired in April 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. 3 applications are matched to 2 Rectory Cottages. 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 IP29 4AG. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Rectory Cottages is in council tax band B. 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.
