How the estimate is made

The estimate for 1a is modelled from its 203 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP29 5QJ. 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 1a

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

1a is a five-bedroom detached house in Chevington, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 5QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 203 m² (around 2185 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £651,000 is 48% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£201/sq ft) was about 52.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.

Method

How 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 1a is modelled from its 203 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP29 5QJ. 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 1a. 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 1a was lodged in December 2015 at band E and expired in December 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 1a. 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 5QJ. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1a is in council tax band F. 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.
