About 3 Dickens Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Dickens Street is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Peterborough (PE1 5EA). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (September 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1996–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £177,000 sits 60.9% above the 2014 sale of £110,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 12 years ago, in December 2014.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 3 Dickens Street is modelled from its 85 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PE1 5EA. 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 3 Dickens Street. 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 Dickens Street was lodged in October 2015 at band F and expired in October 2025, 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. 1 application is matched to 3 Dickens Street. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 32 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PE1 5EA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Dickens Street 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.
