Overview

About 3 Albert Crescent

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

3 Albert Crescent is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Bury St Edmunds (IP33 3DX). It has a recorded floor area of 169 m² (around 1819 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 169 m² the property is well over the postcode median (110 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Last sold in November 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. Across 2003–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £579,000 is 42.8% above the 2014 sale price.

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 Albert Crescent is modelled from its 169 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP33 3DX. 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 Albert Crescent. 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 Albert Crescent was lodged in April 2013 at band E and expired in April 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 3 Albert Crescent. 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 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP33 3DX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Albert Crescent is in council tax band E. 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.
