The estimate for 1 Cross Street is modelled from its 89 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP30 9TP. 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.

About 1 Cross Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Cross Street is a two-bedroom detached house in Drinkstone, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 9TP). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (June 2020) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 3 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.
One planning record on file: new windows refused in 2023. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 89 m² it sits well below the postcode median (161 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £283,000 is 48.9% above the 2020 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£198/sq ft) was about 18.8% below the postcode norm. Sold December 2020 for £190,000.

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 1 Cross Street is modelled from its 89 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP30 9TP. 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 1 Cross Street. 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 1 Cross Street was lodged in June 2020 at band F and is valid until June 2030. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Cross Street. 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 9TP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Cross Street is in council tax band D. 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.
