How the estimate is made

Overview

About The Finches

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

The Finches is a detached house in Rede, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 4BE). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since March 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £425,000 sits 70% above the 2009 sale of £249,995. At 122 m² it sits well below the postcode median (181 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 The Finches is modelled from its 122 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP29 4BE. 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 The Finches. 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 Finches was lodged in May 2013 at band D and expired in May 2023, 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. 1 application is matched to The Finches. 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 4BE. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
The Finches is in council tax band D. 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.
