Overview

About Flat 1

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

Flat 1 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bury St Edmunds (IP33 1HQ). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a basement. At 47 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (47–93 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 9 units on file. The latest certificate (April 2025) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 47 m² it sits well below the postcode median (80 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £164,000 is 17.1% above the 2007 sale price.

Valuation method in detail

How the estimate is made: The estimate for Flat 1 is modelled from its 47 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP33 1HQ. 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 Flat 1. 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 Flat 1 was lodged in April 2025 at band D and is valid until April 2035. 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 Flat 1. 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 1HQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band: Flat 1 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.
