About Thorncroft

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

Thorncroft is a detached house in Brockley, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 4AL). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1331 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966.

Method

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 Thorncroft is modelled from its 124 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP29 4AL. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Thorncroft. 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 Thorncroft was lodged in July 2009 at band F and expired in July 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Thorncroft. 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 1 school and 11 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP29 4AL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
