How the estimate is made
The estimate for Clock Cottage is modelled from its 100 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP29 4AS. 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.

About Clock Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Clock Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Brockley, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 4AS). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 44). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 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. At 100 m² it's 20.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (126 m² median across 19 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £495,000 sits 50% above the 2009 sale of £330,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£307/sq ft) was about 39.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 7 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Start your researchHow 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 Clock Cottage is modelled from its 100 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP29 4AS. 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 Clock Cottage. 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 Clock Cottage was lodged in February 2009 at band F and expired in February 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. 7 applications are matched to Clock Cottage. 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 10 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP29 4AS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Clock Cottage is in council tax band E. 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.
