About 1a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1a is a mid-terrace house in Bury St Edmunds (IP33 2PA). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 48 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (48–105 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (October 2022) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in December 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.
At 48 m² it sits well below the postcode median (81 m² across 35 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2016–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £147,000 is 13.1% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£252/sq ft) was about 54.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in February 2018, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.

Start your researchHow 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 1a is modelled from its 48 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP33 2PA. 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 1a. 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 1a was lodged in October 2022 at band C and is valid until October 2032. 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 1a. 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 11 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP33 2PA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1a 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.
