Overview

About 18 Heath Close

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

18 Heath Close is an end-of-terrace house in Hessett, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 9BL). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2010) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 61), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on smokeless coal. The latest certificate is from May 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £260,000 sits 51.2% above the 2010 sale of £172,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£190/sq ft) was about 17% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 84 m² it's 15.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (99 m² median across 9 EPCs).

Method

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 18 Heath Close is modelled from its 84 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP30 9BL. 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 18 Heath Close. 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 18 Heath Close was lodged in May 2010 at band F and expired in May 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 18 Heath Close. 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 9BL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
18 Heath Close is in council tax band C. 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.
