About 8 Cooks Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Cooks Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Elmswell, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 9DB). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 886 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2001–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £229,000 sits 57.9% above the 2012 sale of £145,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£164/sq ft) was about 16.9% below the postcode norm. Last sold in July 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs).

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 8 Cooks Road is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP30 9DB. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 8 Cooks Road. 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 8 Cooks Road was lodged in March 2012 at band E and expired in March 2022, 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. None is matched to 8 Cooks Road. 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 2 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP30 9DB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Cooks Road is in council tax band B. 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.
