Overview

About Old Rectory

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

Old Rectory is a detached house in Hartest, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 4DH). It has a recorded floor area of 500 m² (around 5382 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1997–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,525,000 is 35.1% below the 2021 sale of £2,350,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£437/sq ft) was about 61.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 500 m² the property is well over the postcode median (143 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2007. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Most recent transfer: March 2021 at £2,350,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 Old Rectory is modelled from its 500 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP29 4DH. 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 Old Rectory. 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 Old Rectory was lodged in April 2013 at band D and expired in April 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 Old Rectory. 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 9 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP29 4DH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
