Overview

About 6 Athenaeum Lane

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

6 Athenaeum Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bury St Edmunds (IP33 1LY). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2022) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in January 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since June 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £248,000 sits 313.3% above the 1999 sale of £60,000.

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 6 Athenaeum Lane is modelled from its 49 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP33 1LY. 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 6 Athenaeum Lane. 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 6 Athenaeum Lane was lodged in August 2022 at band D and is valid until August 2032. 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 6 Athenaeum Lane. 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 1LY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
6 Athenaeum Lane 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.
