About Little Owl
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Little Owl is a detached house in Hawstead, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 5NJ). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2021) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 102), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.
Today's modelled estimate of £302,000 is 24.7% below the 2021 sale of £401,014, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£423/sq ft) was about 85.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 88 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 79% of similar EPCs). 6 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include tree works, new windows and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Most recent transfer: June 2021 at £401,014. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 Little Owl is modelled from its 88 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP29 5NJ. 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 Little Owl. 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 Little Owl was lodged in March 2021 at band D and is valid until March 2031. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 6 applications are matched to Little Owl. 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 19 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP29 5NJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Little Owl is in council tax band B. 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.
