How the estimate is made

The estimate for Michaelmas Cottage is modelled from its 214 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP29 4BY. 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 Michaelmas Cottage

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

Michaelmas Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Depden, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 4BY). It has a recorded floor area of 214 m² (around 2303 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 214 m² the property is well over the postcode median (153 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £1,036,000 is 38.1% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£326/sq ft) was about 61.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

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 Michaelmas Cottage is modelled from its 214 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP29 4BY. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Michaelmas 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 Michaelmas Cottage was lodged in May 2014 at band D and expired in May 2024, 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 Michaelmas 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. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from IP29 4BY. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Michaelmas Cottage is in council tax band G. 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.
