Overview

About 39a

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

39a is a mid-terrace house in Bury St Edmunds (IP33 1LW). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band A.

Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor.

Across 2007–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £196,000 is 75.2% below the 2022 sale of £790,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look.

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 39a is modelled from its 64 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP33 1LW. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 39a. 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 39a was lodged in April 2019 at band E and is valid until April 2029. 3 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 39a. 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 1LW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
39a is in council tax band A. 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.
