How the estimate is made
The estimate for Cresta is modelled from its 221 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP29 5QZ. 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.

About Cresta
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Cresta is a detached house in Chevington, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 5QZ). It has a recorded floor area of 221 m² (around 2379 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in June 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 221 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 2013–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 55.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £780,000 sits 56% above the 2015 sale of £500,000. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in September 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

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 Cresta is modelled from its 221 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP29 5QZ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Cresta. 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 Cresta was lodged in February 2015 at band C and expired in February 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. 4 applications are matched to Cresta. 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 5QZ. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Cresta 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.
