Overview

About 3 Chequer Square

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

3 Chequer Square is an end-of-terrace house in Bury St Edmunds (IP33 1QZ). It has a recorded floor area of 427 m² (around 4591 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2010) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The latest certificate is from June 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2006–2024, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,656,000 is 12.8% below the 2024 sale of £1,900,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£414/sq ft) was about 198.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 427 m² the property is well over the postcode median (76 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 12 planning records sit against the property, 8 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include tree works, an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent and conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Most recent transfer: May 2024 at £1,900,000.

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 3 Chequer Square is modelled from its 427 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP33 1QZ. 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 3 Chequer Square. 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 3 Chequer Square was lodged in June 2010 at band F and expired in June 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 12 applications are matched to 3 Chequer Square. 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 1QZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Chequer Square 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.
