Overview

About 1 Old Rectory

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

1 Old Rectory is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in King's Lynn (PE32 1DU). It has a recorded floor area of 218 m² (around 2347 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2019) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a conservatory, outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 218 m² the property is well over the postcode median (140 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2012–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £774,000 is 21.9% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£271/sq ft) was about 43.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold March 2021 for £635,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
