Overview

About Marfield House

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

Marfield House is a one-bedroom detached house in Bury St Edmunds (IP33 1HG). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 417 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (July 2010) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since August 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and roof efficiency went from Poor to Average. The latest certificate is from July 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 39 m² this is the 4th smallest of 5 units on EPC record in Marfield House, where floor areas span 26–45 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (32 versus a best of 69). Period features are noted in the property record.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Across 2010–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £146,000 is 11.2% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£315/sq ft) was about 72.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in January 2016, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

How to read this page

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 Marfield House is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP33 1HG. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Marfield House. 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 Marfield House was lodged in July 2010 at band F and expired in July 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Marfield House. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP33 1HG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
