The latest certificate (December 2009) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Poplar Cottage is modelled from its 101 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP30 9AL. 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 Poplar Cottage. 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 Poplar Cottage was lodged in December 2009 at band E and expired in December 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let.

Planning records

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 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP30 9AL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
