Overview

About 1 Railway Cottages

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

1 Railway Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in King's Lynn (PE31 6DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since November 2014. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 98), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.

Held since July 2004 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1998–2004, sale prices on this property compounded at 29.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £258,000 sits 58.8% above the 2004 sale of £162,500. At 106 m² it's 16.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (128 m² median across 6 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).
