Overview

About The Old Post Office

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

The Old Post Office is a detached house in Brockley, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 4AR). It has a recorded floor area of 154 m² (around 1655 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since December 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 10% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £472,000 sits 100.9% above the 2009 sale of £235,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£142/sq ft) was about 36.5% below the postcode norm. At 154 m² it's 28.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (120 m² median across 8 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).

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 The Old Post Office is modelled from its 154 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP29 4AR. 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 The Old Post Office. 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 Old Post Office was lodged in July 2009 at band E 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 The Old Post Office. 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 4AR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
