Overview

About 7 Green Close

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

7 Green Close is a two-bedroom detached house in Drinkstone, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 9TE). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in June 1997. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £271,000 sits 271.2% above the 1997 sale of £73,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£117/sq ft) was about 39.5% below the postcode norm. At 58 m² it sits well below the postcode median (142 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 7 Green Close is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP30 9TE. 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 7 Green 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 7 Green Close was lodged in September 2012 at band D and expired in September 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 7 Green 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 2 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP30 9TE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7 Green 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.
