Overview

About The Laurels

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

The Laurels is a five-bedroom detached house in Sicklesmere, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 0TJ). It has a recorded floor area of 212 m² (around 2282 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in May 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since July 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 212 m² the property is well over the postcode median (154 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 2000–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £711,000 sits 73.4% above the 2010 sale of £410,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an annexe, an extension, partial demolition and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 The Laurels is modelled from its 212 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP30 0TJ. 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 The Laurels. 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 The Laurels was lodged in August 2015 at band C and expired in August 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. 3 applications are matched to The Laurels. 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 22 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP30 0TJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
